Real Madrid make Jurgen Klopp top target ahead of Mauricio Pochettino, Jose Mourinho and Massimiliano Allegri – reports
Real Madrid want Jurgen Klopp to succeed Santiago Solari as their new boss in the summer, according to reports.The Liverpool boss is seen as the ideal man to inject some life into Los Blancos, ahead of Mauricio Pochettino in the pecking order.3

Jurgen Klopp is reportedly Real Madrid’s No.1 target

Real reportedly enquired about the availability of the Tottenham Hotspur boss last summer following Zinedine Zidane’s abrupt departure.However, the Argentine has seemingly rejected the Spanish giant’s advances, as well as the lure of taking over at Premier League rivals Manchester United.According to The Independent, Real will now turn their attention to Klopp to replace Santiago Solari, with Juventus chief Massimiliano Allegri also a possibility.Although the former Madrid player is still technically in charge at the Bernabeu, it seems unlikely he will survive past the end of the season after Tuesday night’s huge upset in the Champions League.3

Pochettino was a reported target last summer

The holders were dumped out by minnows Ajax after a stunning 4-1 defeat at home.In order to generate excitement around the club once again and to wrestle back the La Liga crown from Barcelona, it seems president Florentino Perez will turn to Klopp.Jose Mourinho has not been completely ruled out due to his relationship with Perez.But there is a view from some at the highest level of the club that Mourinho is ‘finished’.3

The Argentine is clinging onto the job at the moment

The Madrid hierarchy want someone to restore what is known as ‘ilusion’ – excitement or happiness – to the club after their woeful season.Klopp’s transformation of Liverpool has impressed senior officials in the Spanish capital the report claims the summer will mark a ‘complete renewal’.The German rejected Madrid in 2015, with Los Blancos then turning to current Newcastle United Rafael Benitez instead.
