Real Madrid are reportedly weighing up a sensational summer move for ex-Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp as uncertainty grows around Carlo Ancelotti’s future at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Following a bruising 3–0 Champions League loss to Arsenal, pressure is mounting on Ancelotti despite his contract running until 2026. The Spanish giants are also trailing Barcelona by four points in La Liga, and any failure to secure silverware this season could trigger a high-profile change in leadership.
According to Sport, Madrid are monitoring Klopp’s situation closely. The German tactician stepped down from Liverpool last summer and recently accepted a top-level executive role as Global Head of Football for Red Bull. However, Real insiders believe Klopp’s passion, tactical brilliance, and big-game credentials might tempt him back to the dugout this time in Madrid.
While Xabi Alonso had been the leading candidate to succeed Ancelotti, doubts are emerging due to recent dips in Bayer Leverkusen’s form. Though Alonso remains a fan favourite and is admired for his modern approach and club history, Madrid are reportedly seeking someone who can deliver instant results and command respect in the dressing room qualities Klopp has in abundance.
With his legacy in England already cemented, and time away from management potentially rekindling his hunger, the idea of leading Los Blancos might just be the challenge that lures Klopp back into elite-level football.
One thing’s certain: if Madrid come knocking, the football world will be watching closely.
