Jürgen Klopp has reportedly consented to enter discussions with Real Madrid.

Former Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp is reportedly open to holding talks with Spanish giants Real Madrid regarding a possible role as their new head coach.

This update comes from Diario Sport, referencing UOL Esporte, who shed light on the unfolding situation on Thursday.

The spotlight in Spain has recently turned to Real Madrid’s managerial position, especially following their disappointing Champions League exit. Los Blancos were first thrashed 3-0 by Arsenal at the Emirates, then suffered another 2-1 defeat in the return leg—an outcome that has intensified the pressure on current coach Carlo Ancelotti.

With Ancelotti’s future now uncertain, reports suggest that Klopp could be a shock contender to step in. According to UOL Esporte, those close to Klopp have indicated he is willing to return to management if the right project comes along. Currently, he’s only interested in leading either Real Madrid or the Brazilian national team. Club president Florentino Pérez is said to be seriously considering the decorated German coach as a response to the threat posed by Hansi Flick’s Barcelona.
