German FA reveal that talks have taken place with Julian Nagelsmann about extending his contract beyond Euro 2024 despite links with Liverpool and Manchester United

The president of the German Football Federation, Bernd Neuendorf, revealed that talks have been held with Julian Nagelsmann about the possibility of renewing his contract.

Nagelsmann’s current contract is set to expire after Euro 2024 and he has been linked with clubs including Liverpool and Manchester United.

However, Neuendorf is eager for the 36-year-old to continue leading Germany.

Neuendorf told ZDF: “It would be absolutely desirable on our part (to extend Nagelsmann’s contract).

“We are a good team, we get along well and we maintain an intense dialogue.”

Germany beat France 2-0 in a friendly on Saturday, with goals from Florian Wirtz and Kai Havertz.

Earlier this month, Nagelsmann revealed that he wanted his future resolved as soon as possible.

He said: “If I have a contract offer before the European Championship that I am happy with and where I say I feel comfortable and where I see myself, then there is a high probability that I will sign it before the European Championship.”

Nagelsmann has led Germany since last September. He previously coached Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and Hoffenheim.

Hosts Germany will face Scotland, Hungary and Switzerland in the group stage of Euro 2024.

Since being appointed Germany coach, Nagelsmann has recorded two wins, one draw and two losses.

Newcastle have also reportedly identified Nagelsmann as a possible replacement for Eddie Howe.

Jurgen Klopp will leave Liverpool at the end of the season and there is much speculation about who will replace him at Anfield, with Nagelsmann potentially among the contenders.

Meanwhile, uncertainty remains over Erik ten Hag’s future as Manchester United manager, leading to speculation that Nagelsmann is a possible replacement.
