While Julian Nagelsmann is currently focused on doing his best with the German national team and helping them go the distance at the World Cup, he has been extensively linked with a move to the Premier League this summer.
Manchester United are one of the clubs that have a long-standing interest in the former Bayern Munich boss, but it seems they will struggle to secure his services. According to a report from TEAMtalk, intermediaries working on behalf of the 38-year-old German manager have been in contact with a number of top Premier League clubs. Nagelsmann has been offered to Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, making life very difficult for the Red Devils.
Despite his age, he already has a wealth of experience. Nagelsmann started his managerial career with Hoffenheim before further enhancing his reputation with RB Leipzig. He then went on to win the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich and is now set to lead Die Mannschaft to the World Cup in North America.
He is considered one of the best young managers in the world. His data-driven approach and his progressive mindset set him apart from the rest. Thanks to his impressive track record, a number of English clubs want him.
Before he took charge of the German national team, a move to Chelsea collapsed. The failed move underlines his desire to test himself in the English top flight. While he would still have two years left on his deal post the World Cup, Nagelsmann looks set to part ways with the national team if he finds the right opportunity.
His camp are already laying the groundwork for a future move to the Premier League. He is quite high on Manchester United’s wishlist, as they continue to assess options ahead of the summer. While Michael Carrick has been doing wonders for them and could be handed the role on a permanent basis, the decision will only be made after the season is over.
While the Red Devils’ interest in Nagelsmann is concrete, they are yet to hold talks with him or his camp. In the meantime, the competition for United has increased as intermediaries have offered the 38-year-old’s services to Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool.
The Blues do want to stick with Liam Rosenior, but early signs haven’t been promising, and they could show him the exit door as early as the summer. They have a longstanding interest in Nagelsmann and would love to have him lead their project.
While Mikel Arteta could lead Arsenal to two major titles this season, things could go south, and it could lead to his departure. A trophyless season would force the Gunners to look at Nagelsmann.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have underperformed under Arne Slot this season, and his position is also under serious threat. With Nagelsmann’s services offered, the Reds do have a big decision to make.
All three clubs are yet to follow up on the interest, as they look to stick with their current managers. As a result, it will be interesting to see if United still manage to win the race.
