Jürgen Klopp was once again left with several questions linking him to Real Madrid during a press conference in Germany. The former Liverpool head coach has not coached since he said goodbye to the Reds in 2024 at the Anfiled stadium following a nine-year stint.
Klopp, who now serves as the Head of Global Soccer of Red Bull, has been constantly linked with Alvaro Arbeloa’s side ever since Xabi Alonso was sacked amid a struggling season. Meanwhile, the German has once responded to the links at Santiago Bernabeu amid the rumors.
