Real Madrid are threatening Tottenham's plans for Julian Nagelsmann.

Nagelsmann was sacked by Bayern Munich last week in a brutal 61-minute crisis meeting, with the Bavarian side appointing Thomas Tuchel as his replacement.

With Nagelsmann free, Spurs are now wanting to hold talks about him becoming their next permanent manager after Daniel Levy finally pulled the trigger and sacked Antonio Conte on Sunday night.

However, Real Madrid are also considering making a move for the 35-year-old with Carlo Ancelotti's future at the Bernabeu uncertain.

Any move for Nagelsmann will not come cheap, though, reports BILD.any club interested in signing Nagelsmann before the end of the current campaign will need to pay Bayern Munich compensation, given how the Bavarian club are still paying his £8million-per-year salary despite giving him the boot.

The report states Real Madrid have potentially requested to pay part of the settlement to speed up talks with the young coach as they look to the future, given how Ancelotti has been linked with the Brazil national team job.
