But Spurs appeared to have decided against a move from Nagelsmann, insisting they had NOT met the former Bayern Munich manager.
However now The times says talks have “restarted” but Nagelsmann “wants to know who will replace Fabio Paratici before he signs with the Premier League club”.
The Italian was banned worldwide by Fifa, which led to his forced resignation from his position as chief football officer at Spurs.
This new update says Nagelsmann has “recommended candidates for the job” to Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.
His agent has previously claimed that his client, who was sacked by FC Bayern Munich in March, has turned down talks with Chelsea about replacing Graham Potter as the Blues are in “troubled waters”.
In addition, he had concerns about “their transfer policy” and “other issues”.
Eintracht Frankfurt sporting director Markus Krosche, who worked with Nagelsmann at Leipzig, is a contender to succeed Paratici.
Brentford technical director Lee Dykes and Roma chief executive Tiago Pinto are also believed to be in contention for the post.

Spurs has not had a permanent boss since Conte’s departure on March 27, 47 days ago.
The Italian’s assistant Cristian Stellini was temporarily handed the reins until he himself was sacked after last month’s 6-1 defeat at Newcastle and replaced by Ryan Mason until the end of the season.
