Julian Nagelsmann is yet to speak publicly on his negotiations with Chelsea - but his girlfriend may have inadvertently given the game away.
The German manager has already met with club representatives having been identified as the club's leading target. And an appointment now appears yet more imperative after The Blues were dumped out of the Champions League by Real Madrid on Tuesday.
Nagelsmann, 35, began the campaign at Bayern Munich having led them to the Bundesliga title in 2021/22. But despite being in contention again this time around, and winning through to the last eight of Europe's premier competition, he was sacked in March to be replaced by Thomas Tuchel.
