INSIDER: Atletico Madrid want Pochettino; Simeone will demand €120M to leave

Atletico Madrid would face a staggering payout if they were to sack Diego Simeone.

Simeone is under pressure as Atletico struggle in the LaLiga this season.

Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda, when speaking on El Chiringuito, declared: “He has 3 years left on his contract at a rate of €40 million gross per season, so he would have to be paid €120 million if the contract is terminated.

"In the event that he saw that the issue was getting out of hand from an organisational point of view, he would be the one to take the step of leaving.

"I would be very surprised if Cholo forgave the money.

"They want (PSG coach Mauricio) Pochettino and he will leave PSG sooner rather than later. Training Atlético is a bargain because he won't earn the Cholo thing, but he will earn a lot."
