Despite the fact that Liverpool’s legendary manager Jürgen Klopp is quite adamant that he is doing well as global football boss of Red Bull, he is someone who is talked about a lot internally at Real Madrid. The German coach knows that club president Florentino Pérez wants him, and he is also aware that the white club is looking for a deep, structural change.
The interest has not been expressed directly, but through intermediaries close to Klopp’s surroundings. The message has already reached Valdebebas and leaves no doubt about it. Jürgen Klopp is willing to accept the challenge with Real Madrid, but only if certain, very specific sporting conditions are met.

Jürgen Klopp and the roadmap demanded by Real Madrid
According to reports from DefensaCentral and AS, Jürgen Klopp’s list of demands is not about whims or specific names. There are very clear profiles to build a competitive team from day one. He has asked for four key moves: two centre-backs, two midfielders and the promotion of Endrick to the first team.
At Real Madrid, these requirements are already known and considered coherent with the current situation of the squad. It’s not just about signing players, but also about correcting structural deficiencies that have been exacerbated after several significant departures.
Two midfielders for Klopp’s style of play
Midfield is the top priority for Jürgen Klopp. The German wants a team that dominates with the ball and is a main player through possession. The departure of Kroos and Modric has left an obvious gap that Real Madrid have yet to fill satisfactorily.
Therefore, Klopp has asked for two midfielders who are able to organize, set the tempo and take responsibility at the heart of the game. One of these profiles could be Nico Paz, whose return to Real Madrid is already well advanced for next season.
The Argentine is a good fit because of his talent, mobility, and ability to connect in tight spaces. However, Klopp wants a second player with a more positional role, a pure defensive midfielder to support the team and organize the pressure after losing the ball.

Reinforcement of defence, another obsession for Jürgen Klopp
Defence is another big concern for Jürgen Klopp. Injuries and a lack of continuity have punished Real Madrid in recent seasons. The German coach has called for the arrival of two centre-backs to avoid constant improvisation.
The possible departures of Alaba and Rüdiger, both with contracts near the end, require the club to act with foresight. Several names are on the white club’s agenda, although some have lost strength over the months.
Currently, profiles such as Jacobo Ramón or Nico Schlotterbeck are better suited to the type of player Klopp is looking for.
Endrick, the key to the offensive revolution
In attack, Jürgen Klopp also has a clear idea that involves giving a central role to Endrick from next summer onwards. The Brazilian is a player who has always appealed to the German coach for his intensity, mobility, and ability to attack space.
Klopp believes that Endrick should have more prominence and continuity at Real Madrid. This change in role will directly affect the attacking rotation, with Rodrygo gaining increased importance within the system.
As a result, players like Mbappé, Vinicius, or Mastantuono would have reduced minutes in certain periods. Gonzalo, on the other hand, would have a hard time finding space and may need to seek a loan to continue its development.
An agreement conditional on the sporting project
All these demands are already on the table at Real Madrid, which is seriously considering the scope of Jürgen Klopp’s proposed project. The club understands that it is not just about changing coaches, but about a deep reconstruction.
Florentino Pérez knows that accepting Klopp means committing to a recognizable and demanding idea. The final decision will also depend on the performance of the current coaching staff and the trophies won.
If the contingency plan is activated, Jürgen Klopp will be the first name on the list. And if the conditions are met, Real Madrid could start a new era with Jürgen Klopp, Nico Paz and Endrick as key pieces in the project.
