Pochettino with Mbappé in Madrid?
In recent days, the Kylian Mbappé soap opera has seemed to get tougher for Real Madrid.
The defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League (1-0) is not innocent, in addition to Parisian efforts to extend the tricolor striker.
But according to the
Daily Mail
, Real is thinking of bringing down a new card: that of the coach.
The Madrid club could reopen the Mauricio Pochettino file, which had already been approached last summer as revealed by
Le Parisien
.
At the time, PSG had retained its coach.
But he should push him out at the end of the season.
Manchester United, who were already courting him six months ago, should return to the charge.
With competition from Real?
The Merengues know that Mbappé (23) has a good relationship with Pochettino (49), and see him as a major asset in convincing the world champion to leave Paris this summer.
And Carlo Ancelotti in all this?
The Madrid coach's future darkened after the defeat against PSG, and could be sealed in the event of elimination, although Real are leaders in La Liga.
It remains to be seen if Real are really thinking of Pochettino, much criticized this season, or if it is an attempt to destabilize the Ile-de-France club a little more.

Leão cleared and extended at AC Milan?
When he was only 19 years old in 2018, Rafael Leão had, like other teammates, broken his contract at Sporting Portugal following the invasion of the club's training center by supporters.
The Portuguese striker had joined Lille "
for free
", but Sporting did not digest it and took the matter to court.
In March 2020, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ordered Leão to pay €16 million in damages to Sporting.
The Lisbon Court of Appeal upheld the decision last January, but Leão appealed.
This Monday, the CAS finally judged the LOSC "
solidarity responsible
".
The northern club will have to pay nearly €20 million to Sporting.
A relief for Leão and for his future.
The Portuguese international is walking on water with AC Milan this season, so much so that the Italian club wants to extend for two seasons, until 2026, according to
Gazzetta dello Sport
.
But Leão's entourage refused to discuss before settling this dispute with Sporting.
It's done, and the outcome reinforces the Rossoneri's hope of extending their player.
