Current Bayern head coach Hansi Flick announced earlier this month that he wants his contract terminated at the end of the season, with last season's treble-winning manager strongly linked to the German national team role. Bayern Munich are making their move to appoint Julian Nagelsmann as their new coach, according to reportsNagelsmann (right) would replace Hansi Flick as the Bayern Munich head coach next seasonAnd according to Goal, Leipzig will demand a world-record £26million compensation fee to prize Nagelsmann away from the club and into the hands of perennial German champions Bayern. RB Leipzig have already let defender Dayot Upamecano join Bayern Munich this summer for £38.5million, with the 22-year-old centre-back signing a five-year deal with the club. However, Bayern insisted that Flick had not officially resigned or been let go from his head coach role - with talks between the two parties now expected to take place in the coming days. Nagelsmann, meanwhile, has been RB Leipzig coach for nearly two years after making a name for himself at Hoffenheim.
