Jose Mourinho is in advanced talks to become the next manager of Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain according to reports.
Mourinho is currently the manager of AS Roma but his future at the club has not been confirmed yet and he might look elsewhere.
His contract at the Italian side will expire in the summer and there has not been any negotiation over a potential extension.
Luis Campos, PSG Director, has reportedly been in talks with Mourinho’s agent about the possibility of him joining the club before the 2023-24 campaign.
Mourinho on the other is understood to be “interested” in becoming the manager of the Ligue 1 champions.
Aside Mourinho, PSG are also in talks with other managers including Thiago Motta and ex-Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Current coach Galtier is about to win the Ligue 1 title with PSG but he failed to progress in the Champions League this season.
PSG were knocked out the Champions League in the round-of-16 following a 3-0 defeat on aggregate to Bayern Munich.
The French club are planning to undergo a significant rebuild this summer, with concerns over Lionel Messi’s contract at the club.
Lionel Messi, seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, was recently suspended by the club last week after he went to Saudi Arabia without permission. Six days after, he was allowed to resume training.
Messi is now expected to join former rival Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Super League should he agree to sign for Al Hilal.
