PSG 'moving closer to appointing Julian Nagelsmann as their new manager' with the French club 'stepping up their pursuit of the former Bayern Munich boss'

Paris Saint-Germain have made a step forward in their pursuit of former Bayern Munich boss Julian Nagelsmann.

Nagelsmann, who turned down the opportunity to manage Chelsea and was ruled out of contention to take charge of Tottenham, is in talks to replace Christophe Galtier as manager at the French giants.

And Gianluca Di Marzio report that 'positive contact' has been made between the two parties as a deal edges closer.

Nagelsmann, who has also been linked with the Napoli job, was sacked by Bayern earlier this year.

The Bayern hierarchy were disappointed with the club's inconsistent performances after the resumption of the season following the World Cup.
