Julian Nagelsmann’s agent has been in England this week amid rumours over a potential move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Julian Nagelsmann agent takes trip to England
The Telegraph claim that Nagelsmann’s agent has indeed flown into the UK this week.
Nagelsmann was represented by Marc Kosicke but switched to Sports360 last year, with a number of agents working for them.
The report does highlight that it’s unclear whether the trip to England has anything to do with Nagelsmann’s future or a Tottenham move.
Still, this will set tongues wagging given Tottenham’s interest in Nagelsmann.
The Telegraph reported on Friday that Tottenham are seeking talks with Nagelsmann after his Bayern Munich departure.
Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg adds that Tottenham have made a ‘casual request’ for Nagelsmann and are ‘definitely interested’ in him.
Tottenham can lay groundwork for Nagelsmann move
Nagelsmann understandably wants to take some time out of the game after his shock Bayern exit.
The 35-year-old has been managing non-stop for a while now, going from his breakthrough at Hoffenheim and then onto RB Leipzig and Bayern.
Nagelsmann has some time to think about things, reflect on his Bayern axe and consider how he can become a better manager.
Still, Nagelsmann will have offers to return to management this summer and Tottenham need to lay the groundwork for a move.
Spurs need to at least gauge if Nagelsmann is interested in the job and whether he is worth waiting for; Daniel Levy won’t want to hang around pinning his hopes on Nagelsmann only to miss out.
If Tottenham can speak to Nagelsmann’s agent ahead of the summer then they can test the water with a potential move.
Other candidates will be in mind after Antonio Conte’s exit but Nagelsmann appears to be the top choice – and Spurs should be speaking to his agent about a possible summer deal.
