BERLIN - Julian Nagelsmann is set to join 2020 treble winners Bayern Munich from RB Leipzig as the successor of departing Hansi Flick for an estimated 23 million euros.
The reported transfer fee exceeds the 7.5 million euros paid by Borussia Monchengladbach for Frankfurt coach Adi Hutter, and also that of Andre Villas-Boas, who joined Chelsea from Porto in 2011 for 15 million euros.
Five years after being appointed coach of TSG Hoffenheim at the age of just 28, Nagelsmann requested to leave RB Leipzig despite having a valid contract until 2023.
