The French champions were keen and desperate to get AVB&rsquo;s assent to their proposal, considering all the efforts they had put in to lure the Portuguese manager to the French capital.<br />

PSG, earlier had also plot a 85 million pound bid for the Spurs&rsquo; forward Gareth Bale, in addition to the acquisition attempt of Chelsea&rsquo;s David Luiz as an added incentive to Boas, if he considered PSG for the next season. The affluent French club were all set to meet a &euro;11.7 million buyout clause in the Portuguese&rsquo;s contract at White Hart Lane.<br />

Boas was understood to have been offered a three year contract by Qatari-backed PSG, but the 35-year old manager insisted on proving his loyalty to Spurs for hiring him last summer despite a disappointing spell at Chelsea. AVB expects to build a stronger and more capable squad ahead of next season so that the Spurs could reach the Champions League.<br />

Villas-Boas is also partly motivated and excited by the prospect of his rivalry with his compatriot and mentor Jose Mourinho, Chelsea&rsquo;s boss.<br />After a final denial by Villas-Boas, it is being speculated that PSG will turn to their plan B &ndash; Fabio Capello. Reports suggest that the former England coach could be the new PSG manager for next season.<br /><br />
