Pochettino 'Makes Call' After Receiving Chelsea Job Offer
According to Football Insider, the Ligue 1 champions are looking to sell Brazil's all-time top goalscorer six years after making him the most expensive player in football history.
While Les Parisiens paid a mammoth £200 million (R4.4 billion) for his services in 2017, it is now said the attacker will be available for as little as £70 million to £80 million (R1.5 billion to R1.7 billion) in the next transfer window.

The 31-year-old is currently enjoying one of his most productive seasons in European football, having scored 18 goals and assisted 17 further strikes in 29 games for PSG, but the same report also suggests that English sides are not eager to deal with the baggage that comes with the former Barcelona star.
The winger's attitude and commitment to winning has been called into question on a number of occasions, most recently following PSG's UEFA Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich.
