When a series of poor results occurred, rumors about the Real Madrid coaching position immediately heated up.
K-pop could manage Real Madrid.
The name being mentioned is none other than Jurgen Klopp. After leaving Liverpool in the summer of 2024 and taking on the role of Global Director of Football at Red Bull, the German strategist has yet to return to the dugout. But according to Football365 , he is willing to consider Bernabeu, but on the condition that he is given full authority to rebuild.
Klopp's most notable request is reportedly to sign Rodri, a key player for Manchester City. The Spanish midfielder has long been a target for Real Madrid, and the fact that he hasn't renewed his contract beyond 2027 only fuels hopes. For Klopp, Rodri is not just a big signing, but a cornerstone of his new tactical structure.
"Now that he's almost 30, Rodri believes it's the right time to return home. Real Madrid could offer the midfielder a starting place, along with an attractive project," a source close to the 1996-born player revealed.
In addition, he is reportedly looking to overhaul the squad, parting ways with players like Fran Garcia, Dani Ceballos, and David Alaba, while adding Nico Schlotterbeck, Vitinha, and Kenan Yildiz. This envisions a far-reaching overhaul, rather than piecemeal adjustments.
Meanwhile, Alvaro Arbeloa is still striving to maintain his position. Despite beating Benfica in the Champions League, the defeat against Getafe means Real Madrid continues to lag behind Barcelona in La Liga.
