⚠️ Klopp open to managing Real Madrid, according to Sky Sport | OneFootball

Amid a wave of turmoil at Real Madrid, one piece of news could change the immediate future of the football world and the white club in the short and medium term.

According to an exclusive report by Florian Plettenberg, journalist for Sky Sport and a leading authority in the transfer market, Jürgen Klopp is seriously considering returning to coaching if he receives a concrete offer from Real Madrid for the summer of 2026.

Madrid, something special

Although the German coach is currently playing a strategic role within the Red Bull organization chart, his passion for the pitch has not faded.

Plettenberg assures that, although Klopp is deeply involved with the energy drink’s multi-club project, Real Madrid is an institution that has always fascinated him. This emotional connection would be the main driving force for him to interrupt his time away from the dugout.

A return... but not at any price

The report details that Klopp’s return would not happen under just any circumstances. There are two specific projects that could bring the former Liverpool manager back to the tracksuit: the Germany national team and Real Madrid.

For this to happen, "everything would have to fit", but the coach’s interest in the white club is a reality that is already stirring things up at Valdebebas for the medium-term future. This move places the summer of 2026 as a key date on the Madrid calendar.

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