Mauricio Pochettino has insisted that he '100%' wants to stay with Paris Saint-Germain this summer as the Ligue 1 champions prepare to shake things up behind the scenes.

Despite regaining the title, PSG's owners have been unimpressed with how this past season played out and 90min has confirmed reports that both Pochettino and director Leonardo are expected to leave the club.

Nevertheless, Pochettino sat down with COPE for a message of defiance, insisting he knows nothing of a possible departure and voicing his determination to stick around in Paris.

"I've said previously that I am 100% here, and today I am 100% here," he said. "I have one more year on my contract. There are plenty of challenges but that is just motivation for any coach."

He continued: "Of course I want to stay, 100%. This is a club with ambition. The big disappointment is the Champions League because that's the one that the people really want."

It has been suggested that Kylian Mbappe will be given a say in PSG's business after his blockbuster new contract - something the young forward has denied - and Pochettino stressed that his relationship with Mbappe does not impact his future.

"I don't think it does," he said. "I will be judged by my work. We have won all the titles that the previous coaches have won. The title is won regularly and that means more than a lot might think. This league is not easy."

90min understands that PSG have long been in talks over Pochettino's possible departure this summer, with Parc des Princes chiefs already searching for targets to replace the Argentine.

Towards the top of their list are Tottenham
