Pochettino has emerged as a candidate, having previously spent five years as Spurs manager during which he led the club to a Champions League final.
BBC Sport says should Levy firm up his interest, Spurs would have to pay a world record compensation fee to buy the Argentine out of his USA contract.
For his part, Pochettino will also take some persuading as he prepares to lead the host nation at next year's World Cup.
