Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has been linked with a return to management.

Real Madrid are reportedly interested in bringing the German manager as a replacement for Xabi Alonso. Real Madrid have been mediocre this season, and the Spaniard could be shown the door.

Real Madrid keen on Jurgen Klopp

Klopp is undoubtedly one of the finest managers of his generation, and he would be an exceptional acquisition for Real Madrid. He has shown his quality with Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool in the past. There is no doubt that he could help Real Madrid bounce back strongly and win major trophies.

A report from Fichajes claims that the German manager could demand two players if he joins Real Madrid. Ibrahima Konate and Dominik Szoboszlai are on his wishlist if he joins the Spanish club. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid is prepared to sign those players for him.

Konate has done exceedingly well for Liverpool since joining the club, and he is undoubtedly one of the best defenders in the Premier League. Real Madrid have looked vulnerable at the back, and he could be the ideal acquisition for them. He will be free in the summer of 2026, and he could be a cost-effective solution to their defensive problems.

On the other hand, the Hungarian midfielder has been the best player at Liverpool this season. Klopp signed him during his time at Liverpool, and it is no surprise that he wants to take the player with him to Real Madrid. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Liverpool will not want to lose two players, especially to their former manager.

Real Madrid are interested in appointing Jurgen Klopp as their next manager.

Xabi Alonso has not been able to live up to the expectations, and the Spanish outfit are already looking for alternatives. It will be interesting to see if they decide to show him the door in the coming weeks.

Xabi Alonso to be replaced by Jurgen Klopp?

Alonso is a talented young manager with a bright future, and Real Madrid need to be patient with him. They should give him at least until the end of the season to showcase his true qualities.

Meanwhile, a report from Fichajes claims that Klopp would be open to taking over at Real Madrid, but he has made his conditions very clear to the Spanish club. He wants complete control of transfers, and he is also seeking a major overhaul at the end of the season.

It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid are prepared to give him that kind of control in order to bring him to the club. He is a generational manager who has proven himself in Germany and England. There is no doubt that he could transform Real Madrid and take them to the top of European football.

The former Liverpool manager is currently away from management, and it remains to be seen whether Real Madrid can convince him to return. He has previously hinted that he might be done with management at the club level. He has been linked with the German national team and Liverpool.

It remains to be seen what he decides over the next few months. For now, it seems unlikely that Real Madrid will part ways with Alonso. Despite the mixed start to the season, the club needs to demonstrate their faith in him and hold out until the end of the season.
