The 3 Signings Klopp Would Demand from Real Madrid if Florentino Wants Him at the Bernabéu

If Jürgen Klopp were to take over the managerial role at Real Madrid, he would request three crucial signings to strengthen the squad and take it to the next level.

Klopp would inherit a team already featuring players he once wanted for Liverpool — including Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Rodrygo, Valverde, Bellingham, and Mbappé. However, to fully mold the team to his vision, the German manager would push for the signing of at least one central defender and a right-back, with the possible addition of a left-back as well. These three defensive positions would be his priority targets if he ends up at the helm of the Spanish giants.

Klopp’s New Chapter with Red Bull
While Klopp is one of the options Real Madrid has on the table, his arrival is far from guaranteed. He recently took on the role of Head of Global Soccer for Red Bull — a project that began earlier this year and comes with a lucrative salary. The most recent statements from Klopp suggest that he is not currently thinking about returning to club management.

Xabi Alonso Still the Favorite
Madrid’s preferred choice remains Xabi Alonso. The club has been working behind the scenes for quite some time to bring him in. His history as a Real Madrid player and his impressive development as a coach make him an ideal candidate to lead a new and exciting project. It’s no secret that managing Madrid is Alonso’s dream, and he knows he’s closer than ever to making it a reality.

A Unique Pressure
Coaching a top club always brings pressure, but managing Real Madrid is a different level altogether. At the Bernabéu, the expectation is to compete for — and win — every major trophy, every season. Anything less is often seen as a failure, adding an enormous weight to anyone who takes the role.
