Abdou Diallo, a defender for PSG, apparently wants to leave the French club soon after Mauricio Pochettino was fired, and Tottenham has reportedly made an offer to sign him.

After a season in which the 26-year-old barely appeared for PSG, the former Borussia Dortmund star is eager to leave the Ligue 1 champions, according to RMC Sport. Diallo is now open to leaving the club despite being offered to Tottenham this summer.
According to the source, Antonio Conte was given the opportunity to sign the versatile defender, but the Tottenham manager passed on the opportunity to concentrate on signing FC Barcelona outcast Clement Lenglet, a deal that appears to be close to being finalized in the near future.
Now that Pochettino has recently been fired from his position as Tottenham manager, Diallo is eager to take matters into his own hands and force an exit from PSG. The defender is planning to join Pochettino and leave the UEFA Champions League giants this summer.
Despite being a £27 million acquisition from Dortmund in 2019, Diallo has fallen short of the expectations that were placed on him. In his three seasons with PSG, the Frenchman has not been able to earn a spot in the starting XI.
While Tottenham would have been the perfect next stop for the PSG team, if the 26-year-old leaves the Ligue 1, Diallo will now need to find another team to sign with this summer.
Given that Diallo intends to leave PSG, Tottenham might have regretted buying Lenglet.

Lenglet has been pursued by Tottenham this transfer window in an odd manner, to say the least. The Barcelona defender is regarded as one of the team's worst players and is a center-back the La Liga giants have been looking to sell for years.
Despite the French defender's limited playing time for PSG, Tottenham could have acquired a solid center-back for a lower price this summer instead of taking a chance on Lenglet, who at best is a dubious addition to the team.
