Bayern Munich agree terms with Nagelsmann as RB Leipzig demand world record fee

Bayern Munich have agreed personal terms with RB Leipzig coach Julian Nagelsmann.

BILD reports both parties have spoken and are happy with the plans in place for him to replace the outgoing Hansi Flick this summer.

Bayern now have to see eye-to-eye with Nagelsmann's current employers RB Leipzig - who are set to be stubborn in negotiations with their domestic rivals.

RB Leipzig are demanding £26million to release Nagelsmann from his contract two years early to its expiration in order to join Bayern.

That astronomical fee would be a world-record compensation fee for a coach - highlighting the clamour for Nagelsmann.

The German is only 33 but has impressed at Hoffenheim and Leipzig and can also count Tottenham among his suitors - with the Premier League club reportedly keen on him following the dismissal of Jose Mourinho earlier this month.
