Julian Nagelsmann's move to FC Bayern is perfect.
The Munich and RB Leipzig agreed that the 33-year-old can move to Munich on July 1, 2021.
First the "Bild" newspaper reported about it.
“Julian Nagelsmann stands for a new generation of trainers. Despite his young age, he has had an impressive career. We are convinced that with Julian Nagelsmann we will build on the great successes of the past few years ”, President Herbert Hainer is quoted in a press release from FC Bayern. “Julian's five-year contract alone shows how much he identifies with FC Bayern. I am convinced that we will shape the sporting future of FC Bayern very successfully together with Julian Nagelsmann, ”added board member Oliver Kahn.
In advance, the record champions and Nagelsmann had already agreed on a contract until 2026.
The sticking point was the transfer fee for the coach until the end.
According to the report, the Bavarians are transferring a double-digit million amount to Leipzig, which, including premiums, can rise to up to 25 million euros.

Nagelsmann will thus become the most expensive coach in football history and replace André Villas-Boas.
For his move from FC Porto, Chelsea FC paid the previous record amount of an estimated 15 million euros in 2011.
In the Bundesliga, the 7.5 million euros for Adi Hütter's move from Eintracht Frankfurt to Borussia Mönchengladbach are the highest value so far.
Flick contract also terminated
As the "Kicker" reports, the termination of the contract with Hans-Dieter Flick, 56, was also clarified on Monday at Säbener Strasse.
The Bayern coach had previously asked for the termination of his contract, which ran until 2023.
He is expected to succeed national coach Joachim Löw in the summer.
“I would like to expressly thank Hansi Flick on behalf of FC Bayern.
He took over our team in a difficult phase in 2019 and then won six titles, the seventh will hopefully follow soon.
It will always have a place in the history books of FC Bayern.
We wish him all the best for his future ”, President Hainer said goodbye to the departing Flick.

Nagelsmann moved from TSG Hoffenheim to Leipzig in the summer of 2019 for five million euros.
He had always emphasized that an early change would only be possible with the consent of RB.
The native Landsberger has been considered a possible Bayern coach for years, and the Munich club bosses have valued him for a long time.
“FC Bayern plays a bigger role in my dreams,” he said in a Eurosport interview a few years ago.
As a child and adolescent, Nagelsmann was a fan of the record champions and has also lived in Munich.
The wife and child already live in the Free State.
Leipzig is looking for a successor
As the successor to Nagelsmann, the name Jesse Marsch last circulated.
The American is currently the coach of Red Bull Salzburg and had already expressed his interest in succeeding Nagelsmann.
Under Ralf Rangnick, Marsch was already an assistant coach in Leipzig and was very popular with the team and the environment.
The background for the end of the short term of office of Flick in Munich is also a long-smoldering dispute with sports director Hasan Salihamidzic.
In addition, Flick is evidently interested in the chance to succeed Löw after the EM in the summer, who will then vacate his post.
"I am grateful to the club that I was able to be the head coach at Bayern Munich," said Flick.
He was hired as assistant coach by Niko Kovac in 2019 and replaced him as head coach in November 2019.
