Spurs boss Pochettino tipped to resist Real Madrid approach

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is being lined up for a move to Real Madrid.

Spanish expert Guillem Balague, who worked with Pochettino on a recently released book, can see the Argentine moving to Real - eventually.

Balague told the Transfer Talk podcast: "It's not the right time. Real Madrid will be there. It will happen at some point but with a new stadium, having convinced Dele Alli to sign a new contract, with Harry Kane wanting to stay too, I just don't see it happening [now].

"That was after Real Madrid came to the Bernabeu 1-0 up in the first leg but they lost 2-1.

"Pochettino could be the first £40million manager moving, the way Real Madrid get desperate sometimes."
