Josep Maria Bartomeu and Mauricio Pochettino met a couple of days ago in a restaurant in Barcelona. A meeting that comes at an interesting time with the club looking for Luis Enrique's substitute.

Barcelna's president has stayed away from the speculation over who could be the coach next season. However in various betting outlets Pochettino's name has been put forward as a serious option to replace the Asturian.

Tottenham are having a spectacular Premier League season and are second behind Chelsea. That has helped Pochettino raise his profile and he's been linked to various big clubs. It should be noted that the Argentine coach still has a home in Barcelona from when he was at Espanyol.

In England they say he will not abandon the Tottenham project while the club are trying to take a step forward and build their new stadium.
