It was recently reported that Bayer Leverkusen had identified Filipe Luís as their top candidate to replace Kasper Hjulmand, who is widely expected to be sacked as head coach.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Luís will not be moving to Leverkusen, but instead to AS Monaco.
The Italian transfer market insider claims that the Ligue 1 club have reached an agreement with the Brazilian coach on a contract until 2028.
Die Werkself have also been linked with Andoni Iraola and Oliver Glasner, who are set to leave Bournemouth and Crystal Palace respectively, but both appear more inclined to remain in England.
