Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has emerged as the surprise contender for the Barcelona job after Luis Enrique's decision to leave Camp Nou this summer.
The Uruguayan head coach has done wonders during his time at White Hart Lane, and Spurs are in a position where they could lift the title in a season or two.
A report from The Star cites that the 45-year-old could soon end his ties with the north London club with the prospect of managing one of the world's elite clubs.
Earlier this week, Enrique announced that he would not be extending his stay, and this has brought Pochettino onto Barcelona's radar, given his impressive record of turning young players into potential world-beaters.
Pochettino is due to hold talks with the Spanish champions by the end of next week, but Spurs still remain confident of keeping hold of their head coach.
Meanwhile, Everton boss Ronald Koeman, who is a Barca legend, is also in contention to take over the vacancy from Enrique this summer.
