Xabi Alonso’s future remains uncertain amidst intense speculation linking him to Jürgen Klopp as Real Madrid manager. The German coach, who previously managed Liverpool, is currently without a club after leaving the English side and is considered Florentino Pérez’s preferred choice.
However, a January move is highly unlikely, as sources close to the club indicate that Klopp has informed the board, through his agents, that he will not be signing at this time. Nevertheless, Real Madrid are considering a summer appointment, provided they meet a number of demands to strengthen the squad, which include at least two defensive signings and a new midfielder. The top names being considered to bolster the defense include Dayot Upamecano and Marc Guehi, while the identity of the midfielder remains under discussion.

However, if the team fails to achieve its objectives this season, the management may reconsider the change, exploring interim options including Solari, Arbeloa, or even Zidane to take over, before making any final decision regarding Klopp.
Everything remains contingent on the team’s results and the management’s performance, while fans and analysts alike are watching Real Madrid’s next moves with great anticipation.
