According to Bayern and team reporter Kerry Hau, Jules turned down invitations from Newcastle and Barca, who like to work with Nagelsman at Bayern.
Jules turned down Newcastle, which has recently shown interest in him. If transferred, he wants to join a club that is fighting for the title and can play in the Champions League regularly. The option to renew Bayern's contract has not been ruled out, and talks are expected as early as mid-February.
The Jules squad has already rejected Barca's first offer, and the players need to get a contract with an annual salary of 10 million euros. Jules loves working with Nagelsmann and knows what he can get at Bayern. The club want to prepare for Jules' departure, with Günther and Schrootbeck being discussed as potential replacements.
