The 55-year-old Frenchman trailed previous frontrunner Zinedine Zidane at 6/1.
However, Sky Bet have SLASHED his price to 1/10 to replace Mauricio Pochettino in Paris.
The Athletic claim Galtier will have been installed within the next week after a compensation deal has been agreed with Nice.
Pochettino won Ligue 1 by 15 points during his first full season in charge at the Parc des Princes.
But he’s been unable to repair the damage of their Champions League last-16 collapse to eventual winners, Real Madrid.
ESPN claim his departure was agreed last week — although no official announcement has yet been made.

PSG did, however, announce the arrival of Luis Campos, who has joined the club as their new football advisor.
Campos will decide which fringe players can leave the club, and who will lead them into the 2022-23 campaign.
He worked alongside Galtier before Lille’s Ligue 1 success and wants to be reunited in the French capital.
Zinedine Zidane is next in the market at 6/1.
Reports had claimed that a deal was close to being agreed with the club’s owners particularly keen on Zidane.
But other reports suggest the 49-year-old’s preference is to manage the French national side when Didier Deschamps exits the role.
