Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly expressed an interest in former Bayern Munich head coach Julian Nagelsmann.
Having been sacked by the Bundesliga champions during the international break, the 35-year-old appears intent on having a break until the summer.
However, that has not stopped frequent speculation regarding his next move with numerous high-profile clubs considering their appointments for 2023-24.
Most notably, Chelsea have been heavily linked with an approach for the German as they bid to secure a long-term replacement for Graham Potter.
While Nagelsmann is said to prefer a switch to Stamford Bridge if he moves to the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur are also known to be monitoring the situation.
With Carlo Ancelotti's future at Real Madrid up in the air, it remains plausible that Nagelsmann could be handed the opportunity to take the reins at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Nevertheless, according to journalist Abdellah Boulma, PSG have entered the race for Nagelsmann's services.
Boulma says that club officials have moved to make first contact with Nagelsmann as they look to determine whether he holds any interest in a switch to Parc des Princes.
Christophe Galtier is the current incumbent in the dugout, but it has been widely alleged that he will be removed from his role at the end of the season.
Although PSG hold a six-point lead at the top of the Ligue 1 standings, they have recently lost successive matches to Rennes and Lyon at their home ground.
Galtier had already been under pressure due to the club's last-16 exit from the Champions League, losing 3-0 on aggregate to Bayern Munich.
Even if PSG manage to retain their lead in the top flight, Galtier is unlikely to stay in charge with PSG facing the prospect of another rebuild.
The futures of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe remain up in the air at a time when it has been suggested that PSG have work to do in order to meet FFP criteria. body check tags ::
