Real Madrid consider Klopp option

Early discussion around Real Madrid’s future on the bench has begun to circulate, with one high profile name emerging in online reports.

According to Transfer News Live, citing Spanish journalist Santi J. FM, the club has identified former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp as its ideal choice should a coaching change be made this summer.

The report describes Klopp as Real Madrid’s dream appointment and suggests he is viewed internally as the standout candidate among possible options.

A high profile name resurfaces

Klopp stepped away from Liverpool at the end of last season after nearly a decade in charge, a period that included major domestic and European success.

Since his departure, the German coach has been linked with several elite roles despite publicly stating he intended to take a break from day to day management.

The report does not claim that negotiations are underway, but indicates that Real Madrid’s leadership is already considering Klopp as part of its longer term planning.

Pérez’s preference

Florentino Pérez is said to hold Klopp in particularly high regard, with the report placing the coach at the top of the president’s internal list.

Managerial decisions at Real Madrid are typically driven from the highest level, and Pérez has previously shown a willingness to pursue globally recognised figures when shaping future projects.

At this stage, the information remains based on media reporting rather than confirmation from the club itself.

Planning beyond the current season

The timing of the report suggests strategic planning rather than an imminent change, with Real Madrid still focused on their current campaign objectives.

While no indication has been given that Klopp would return to management immediately, the report adds to wider speculation that Madrid may be assessing options well in advance of the summer.

For now, the link remains unverified, but it highlights how early conversations are beginning to form around the club’s longer term direction.
