Amid great turbulence at Real Madrid, a piece of news could change the immediate future of the football world and the Merengue club in the short and medium term.

According to an exclusive report by Florian Plettenberg, Sky Sport journalist and a reference in the transfer market, Jürgen Klopp is seriously considering returning to the role of coach if he receives a concrete offer from Real Madrid for the 2026/2027 season.

Although the German coach is currently playing a strategic role in the organizational structure of Red Bull, his passion for the pitch has not ended.

Plettenberg assures that, despite Klopp being closely identified with the multi-club project of the energy drink company, Real Madrid is a club that has always fascinated him. This emotional connection would be the main driving force for interrupting his time away from the sidelines.

The report details that Klopp’s return would not happen under any circumstances. There are two specific projects that would make the former Liverpool manager put on the coach’s tracksuit again: the German national team and Real Madrid.

For this to happen, “everything would have to fit,” but Klopp’s interest in the Merengue club is a reality that is already stirring up the offices at Valdebebas as they look to the medium-term future. This move puts the summer transfer window as a key date on the Madridista calendar.

With the club’s sporting situation at a maximum state of alert, Klopp’s figure emerges as a leader capable of managing a squad of stars at the Santiago Bernabéu. The fascination is mutual, as Real Madrid has always valued the German’s charisma and style of play.

Real Madrid was eliminated by Albacete in the Copa del Rey in Arbeloa’s debut as head coach. The manager replaced the recently dismissed Xabi Alonso.
