It is no secret that Real Madrid are actively searching the managerial market for a new replacement for Xabi Alonso.
Although the club have roped in Alvaro Arbeloa as the interim manager, president Florentino Perez wants a proven top-class manager to take over the reins at the Bernabeu.
Zinedine Zidane and Jurgen Klopp have emerged as two potential options for Los Blancos. But while the French national team has already started the process of Zidane’s onboarding after the World Cup, Klopp remains free.
For the longest time, it has been reported that the German is not looking for a new job right now and is happy with his current position at Red Bull.
Klopp’s agent’s message to Real Madrid
However, as reported by Defensa Central, Klopp’s agent, Marc Kosicke, has spoken to Real Madrid, confirming that his client does indeed see the Red Bull exit as a possibility.

The former Liverpool manager is currently holding the prestigious position of Director of Football for all of Red Bull’s football teams.
Madrid Universal explained earlier that Klopp is unlikely to leave Red Bull, in light of the recent departure of Red Bull Racing’s Helmut Marko, which, in turn, has elevated the role of Klopp’s immediate boss, Oliver Mintzlaff.
With Mintzlaff becoming the Managing Director of Red Bull GmbH’s Projects and New Investments division, it won’t be surprising to see Klopp’s role getting elevated as well.
But the report seems to suggest that the German tactician is open to leaving Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season – a suggestion that should be taken with a grain of salt, as it hasn’t been confirmed by any other outlets so far.
