Meanwhile, Julien Laurens believes current manager Mauricio Pochettino could take charge at Real Madrid some day. Elsewhere, the Parisians are eyeing a move for an Arsenal defender.

On that note, here’s a look at the key PSG transfer stories as on June 14, 2022:

Mauricio Pochettino backed to manage Real Madrid

ESPN’s Julien Laurens believes Mauricio Pochettino could take charge at Real Madrid next summer. The Argentinean is all set to get the boot at the Parisians this summer. Pochettino’s failure to secure the UEFA Champions League looks set to have sealed his fate in Paris.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Laurens said that Pochettino’s managerial career won’t be stained by his imminent sacking:

Laurens also added that Pochettino would like to return to England, but there’s no managerial vacancy at the top six clubs right now.

He continued:

Laurens added that Pochettino could eventually replace Carlo Ancelotti at the Santiago Bernabeu.

PSG eyeing Gabriel move

PSG will move for Gabriel if they fail to secure the signature of Milan Skriniar, according to Tuttomercatoweb via TBR Football.

The Ligue 1 champions are hot on the trails of the Inter Milan defender and are willing to offer £43.4 million for his signature. However, the Nerazzurri are holding out for a fee in the region of £60 million. The Parisians are locked in negotiations for a move but are not confident of securing a deal.

Should their pursuit of Skriniar end in disappointment, the Ligue 1 giants could turn their attention to Gabriel. The Brazilian has been a rock at the back for Arsenal recently and could be tempted with a return to Ligue 1.

Newcastle United interested in Alphonse Areola

Newcastle United are interested in Alphonse Areola, according to RMC Sport via PSG Talk.

The veteran goalkeeper is among the players PSG are looking to offload this summer. The Parisians are well stocked between the sticks and are ready to cash in on the Frenchman. The 29-year-old has one year left on his contract and has been an isolated figure in the squad.

The Magpies are planning to strengthen their goalkeeping department and have their eyes on Areola. He spent last season on loan with West Ham United, who have an option to buy in the deal. The Hammers are willing to take up the option but could face stiff competition from Newcastle.
