Los Blancos continue to keep a close eye on former Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp. The board values his tactical acumen and ability to motivate players. However, the royal club is in no rush to make an offer to the German specialist, instead hoping that Klopp will make the first move. Real believes the coach should demonstrate his desire to return to management; otherwise, the club will not initiate any contact.

For the record, Real Madrid had previously shown strong interest in the star manager, but both his agent and Klopp himself have stated that he has no intention of returning to coaching at this time.
