The List of Signings Klopp Demands if He Replaces Ancelotti at Real Madrid

The German coach is positioning himself as the Italian's replacement and wants the players he requested for Liverpool to be untouchable

Real Madrid faces the final part of the season with more doubts than certainties. The team is not at its best, struggles to close matches, and doesn't fully convince with its play. The 3-0 defeat in the first leg against Arsenal in the Champions League has set off all the alarms.

Carlo Ancelotti's Continuity Is Up in the Air Again. The team's performance in London was very poor, and his future on the Madrid bench seems more compromised than ever. Although there are still important matches left, the club is already thinking about the future.

Klopp Enters the Scene

Until now, Xabi Alonso Was the Favorite to Take Over. The former white player has a great relationship with the club and has done very well at Bayer Leverkusen. However, in recent days, a new name has appeared: Jürgen Klopp.

The German left Liverpool at the end of the season, after closing a historic era. He is currently linked to the Red Bull group as Global Director of all the company's teams.

But his desire to return to coaching could coincide with a call from Real Madrid. It would be one of the bombs of next summer.

According to Defensa Central, if Klopp were to accept coaching Real Madrid, he would already have a list of key signings. The coach would demand reinforcements in defense. Specifically, he wants a center-back, a left-back, and a right-back.

For this last position, the club would already have very advanced negotiations for Trent Alexander-Arnold, one of the German's great protégés. Klopp trusts him blindly and sees him as a key piece for his project in Madrid.

Players He Likes

Additionally, Klopp would be pleased to work with footballers he already wanted to sign when he was at Liverpool. Among them are names like Tchouaméni, Camavinga, Rodrygo, Valverde, Bellingham, and Mbappé.

They are all players who fit his style: intensity, verticality, and high pressure. Klopp knows them well and believes he can get even more out of them.

The Klopp option remains secondary for now. But if Xabi Alonso doesn't arrive or changes plans, the German is ready. And with his arrival, a revolution in Real Madrid's squad would also be ready.
