Asked at a press conference about the percentage of chances that he will stay in Paris and that Mbappé will do the same, the Argentine coach replied: "100% in both cases".
But he immediately qualified his remarks, while Mbappé, coveted by Real Madrid, has still not extended his Parisian contract ending at the end of June.
"That's what I can perceive, feel today. In football, you can expect a lot of things but that's what I feel today," said Pochettino.
Under contract until 2023 but still contested despite the title of champion, Pochettino could leave this summer from Paris SG, in search of a new breath for his sports project next season.
Sporting director Leonardo did not comfort the Argentinian, declaring on Saturday that he wanted to "speak with everyone, not only with the coach but also the players, to clarify situations and decide on the strategy".
"It's a general speech," said the Brazilian leader, without commenting on the future of Pochettino.
In the case of Mbappé, the French press evoked pharaonic proposals on the part of the Qatari owners of PSG to retain the 23-year-old prodigy who, in recent weeks, has been blowing hot and cold, leaving no clear clues to show. decision.
According to Leonardo, the 2018 world champion striker is still "reflecting" on his future as a meeting between his family and PSG took place last week in Doha, Qatar.
