Chelsea are in the market for a new manager to take the helm in the summer after Graham Potter was sacked. The Blues have been heavily linked with numerous candidates to replace Frank Lampard, who was named caretaker boss earlier this month.
football.london understands that Nagelsmann is currently the favourite to pen a deal with the west Londoners. The 35-year-old was sacked by Bayern Munich last month, with Thomas Tuchel – ironically – replacing him at the Allianz Arena.
Luis Enrique has already held talks with Chelsea after travelling to London to present his ideas to club officials, football.london understands. Nagelsmann has now had his chance to convey his own plans, it seems, so an ultimatum could be around the corner.
