Both Premier League outfits have been linked with the German after sacking Graham Potter, 47, and Antonio Conte, 53.

But according to Football.FR, PSG will not continue with current manager Christophe Galtier in the dugout next season.

The club are even believed to be considering hiring a manager to finish the season on an interim basis.

Galtier was hired ahead of the current season and while PSG lead Ligue 1, they have been knocked out of both the Champions League and French Cup.

Napoli’s Luciano Spalletti and Oliver Glasner of Eintracht Frankfurt have emerged as runners in the race.

Even former Brazil coach Tite has revealed his interest in taking over at Stamford Bridge.

While Spurs are also believed to be interested in bringing back their former manager.

However, if the two clubs are to appoint Julian Nagelsmann they may be forced to wait until the summer.

That is because Bayern has a sensational clause in Nagelsmann’s contract which means any club wanting to hire him before the summer needs to speak to them despite them sacking him.
