Real Madrid are reportedly considering Jürgen Klopp as a potential future head coach.
Xabi Alonso has struggled to fully meet expectations so far, prompting the club to quietly explore other options. While it’s unclear whether Madrid would act soon, there is growing speculation about Alonso’s long-term future.
Could Klopp replace Alonso?
Despite the pressure, Alonso remains a highly regarded young manager with significant potential, and many believe Real Madrid should remain patient and allow him until the end of the season to truly prove himself.
According to Fichajes, Klopp would be willing to take the job if approached, but only under specific conditions. The German would demand full control over transfer decisions and push for a major squad rebuild at the end of the campaign.
Whether Real Madrid would be prepared to hand over that level of authority is another question. Klopp is widely seen as a world-class, generational coach who has succeeded at the highest level in both Germany and England, and there is little doubt he could elevate the club on the European stage.
Klopp’s return to the dugout?
Klopp is currently taking a break from management, and it remains uncertain if he is ready to return. He has previously suggested he may be finished with club management, while also being linked with the German national team and a possible return to Liverpool.
For now, Real Madrid are unlikely to dismiss Alonso imminently. Despite an inconsistent start to the season, the club is expected to show confidence in him and reassess the situation once the campaign concludes.
