Michael Laudrup has emerged as a serious alternative to Andre Villas-Boas for the manager’s job at Paris Saint-Germain.
The Swansea City boss has been shortlisted alongside the likes of Spurs manager Villas-Boas, Fabio Capello and former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini as the French champions look to replace Carlo Ancelotti.
Laudrup, who guided Swansea to the Capital One Cup last season, is known to be unsettled at the club and relations hit a new low following a disagreement between chairman Huw Jenkins and Laudrup’s agent of more than 30 years, Bayram Tutumlu.
Club officials claim Tutumlu had tried to take control of of the club’s transfer policy and they took steps to prevent him holding any authorisation to recruit or sell players.
Big-spending PSG would prefer Villas-Boas but Laudrup is seen as an attractive fall-back should the Portuguese not be willing to leave White Hart Lane.
The PSG job is fast becoming one of the most desirable in football. The Qatari-backed club have limitless resources and, as Sportsmail exclusively revealed this morning, are prepared to break the world transfer record to outbid Real Madrid and sign Gareth Bale.
They hope the prospect of continuing to work with Bale, whom they value at £85million, will be enough to tempt Villas-Boas to make the move.
