Mauricio Pochettino had a significantly good time with Paris St. Germain (PSG) as the club's caretaker for one season.

He is with Chelsea now, but what is going on in his former club still follows him.

The Ligue 1 giants are having some misunderstandings with Kylian Mbappe, who, according to reports, had already agreed with Real Madrid.

Saudi side Al Hilal are also looking to sign the 24-year-old for a deal worth around $1 billion.

Pochettino shared that the history between him, the player, and the club is also why he is not trying to make any comment that might be misinterpreted.

"I think in our past we were at Paris Saint Germain and with Kylian and think I need to be conscious that I cannot talk," he told reporters ahead of Chelsea's friendly with Newcastle United in the U.S.

"Everything you talk, is too much noise. It is a situation that is very delicate and one they need to fix in Paris with Kylian."

Mbappe vs Haaland in Premier League 

The Mbappe-question raised to Pochettino is not something the reporters concocted out of thin air.

The Daily Mail suggested that Mbappe could not leave Europe. What's best for him, too, is to join the Premier League via Chelsea, who has a manager he used to play for, Manchester United, or Tottenham Hotspur.

The author only pushed this scenario because he thinks his presence in England's top-flight league will lead to a rivalry with Manchester City's Erling Haaland, who, just like him, can net many goals.
