Klopp will negotiate with Real Madrid!

According to Sky Sportsthe Italian will not even end the season. In the event of a poor performance against the Blaugrana in the upcoming final, his departure could be immediately acted. The Madrid locker room would also be resigned, as is part of the management.

Klopp vs Flick ?

After SportJürgen Klopp, recently released from his functions in Liverpool, would be an option seriously envisaged by Florentino Pérez. The German would have already agreed to start negotiations with the Madrid board.

Faced with competition from FC Barcelona, ​​now coached by Hansi Flick, Madrid might want to hit hard. The final decision will belong to the president of the club, between loyalty to a legend of the club like Xabi Alonso or the tactical and charismatic shock that would represent the arrival of Klopp.
