Jurgen Klopp denies Real Madrid and Atletico links again
Jurgen Klopp denies Real Madrid and Atletico links again Former Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund Jurgen Klopp has again denied talk that he is set to take over at Real Madrid, or this time, Atletico Madrid in the summer. Klopp has been cast as one of the few options that would convince Real Madrid President Florentino Perez to take over the hotseat at the Bernabeu next season. This is not the first time that Klopp has done so, previously denying talks with Real Madrid twice since Xabi Alonso was sacked .
For the time being, Los Blancos have been sounding out alternatives to Alvaro Arbeloa for the summer, while it has also been rumoured that he is a candidate to be Diego Simeone’s replacement. Klopp: ‘It annoys me, it’s all nonsense’ After Alonso’s exit, Klopp and Zinedine Zidane were thought to be the only two options that Real Madrid were convinced by. Yet there are doubts whether Klopp would come out of retirement.
At an event in Munich, he denied there had been any contact with Real Madrid. “Or is it enough for some media outlet – I don’t know if it’s AI or if there are people behind it – to write any old garbage? It bothers me.
And then I have to be constantly responding,” Diario AS quote. “But you really need to be a little more disciplined about this. If Real Madrid had called, we would have known about it eventually.
But all this is nonsense. They haven’t called even once, not once. My agent is there, you can ask him.
