Klopp considering shock Real Madrid move after Xabi Alonso sacked

Jurgen Klopp, former Liverpool manager currently Head of Soccer at Red Bull, is seriously considering a shock move to Real Madrid this summer, according to transfer expert Plettigoal. This comes after Real Madrid sacked Xabi Alonso as manager on Monday following a 3-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish SuperCup final. Alvaro Arbeloa has been appointed as temporary manager while the club searches for a permanent replacement.

Klopp, who left Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season, has been linked with several top jobs but is reportedly not keen on returning to club management. However, two projects could change his mind: the Real Madrid vacancy and the German national team. The German side, under current coach Julian Nagelsmann, will have a major tournament next year, with the FIFA World Cup scheduled for June 2026.

Real Madrid are seeking a high-profile appointment to challenge Barcelona, who are currently four points clear at the top of LaLiga. Klopp's potential arrival would signal a major shift for the Spanish giants, while the German national team may also be monitoring his availability ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
