Pochettino is a former player and coach of Espanyol and will not consider working for Barca out of loyalty.
Pochettino continues to be linked with Newscastle United should their sale go through.
Meanwhile Pochettino has managed two clubs in the Premier League, most recently Tottenham Hotspur.
The Argentine hung up his boots at the age of 34 in 2006, having made more than 300 appearances for Espanyol and won the Copa del Rey twice.
He moved into the coaching system at the Barcelona-based club and took over as manager in January 2009, with his team lying third from bottom in LaLiga.
