Jürgen Klopp is a candidate for the head coach position at Real Madrid, should the club decide to appoint a new manager in the summer.

The Galacticos and former Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso parted ways yesterday after a mutual agreement to terminate his deal.

Sky Germany first revealed the news of Real Madrid's interest in Klopp on 11 December and have since confirmed it again. 

Despite Klopp’s long-term contract with Red Bull and his strong ties to the Red Bull project, Real Madrid hold a major appeal for him.

If Real were to make a serious move, Klopp would give it serious consideration and could leave his role of Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull.

The 58-year-old Stuttgart native first took on the role in January 2025 – he hasn't coached since stepping away from Liverpool in May 2024.
