Real have not spoken to Pochettino about replacing Zidane

Real Madrid want Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino as their new head coach following Zinedine Zidane’s decision to leave, Sky sources understand.

Real have not spoken to Pochettino and Tottenham sources have told Sky Sports News that no buyout clause exists in Pochettino’s new five-year contract, which he signed only last week.

Those sources also deny there is a verbal agreement for Pochettino to be granted permission to discuss a La Liga move.
