Premier League ‘Threatens’ Barcelona with the Nagelsmann Option

The quest for the next FC Barcelona head coach has become a crucial task for the club’s sporting directors since Xavi announced his decision to leave at the end of the season. With the search intensifying, the options have narrowed down to four candidates: Roberto De Zerbi, Hansi Flick, Thomas Tuchel, and Julian Nagelsmann.

Recent reports suggest that Nagelsmann, the current coach of the German national team, has emerged as a potential candidate. His contract extends until July 31, 2024, but there are indications that he might leave after the Euro 2024. Barcelona, however, faces competition from other Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool, and Newcastle.

According to Bild Sport, these English clubs are closely monitoring Nagelsmann. Manchester United, under new ownership (INEOS), is exploring coaching options due to concerns about Ten Hag. Liverpool is searching for a new manager following Klopp’s confirmed departure. Newcastle, in particular, appears to be leading the race for Nagelsmann’s services. The club is leveraging the coach’s shared representation with Fabian Schar, a Newcastle player, to pitch an ambitious project aiming to compete with the Premier League’s ‘Top Six’ in the upcoming seasons.
