It came because a day after Real Madrid sacked Xabi Alonso that it was Vinicius Junior and not Kylian Mbappe who pushed for him to be sacked. – Shocking comes close from the Spanish capital these days, now it is claimed that manager legend Jürgen Klopp will get rid of Vinicius Jr if he takes over the charge at Real Madrid, and has already signalled two huge signings to fill the void, one of which will come from Newcastle.
Real Madrid parted ways with Xabi Alonso earlier this week, and Alvaro Arbeloa took over on an interim basis until the end of the season.

The search for a new permanent manager in the summer is underway, and Jürgen Klopp is widely admired at the Bernabeu. – But the 58-year-old has toned down talk of returning to the managerial profession with the La Liga giant. However, Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg insists Klopp will give ‘serious consideration’ to joining Madrid if they make contact.
TEAMtalk, Sky Sports, AS and Sport believe Jürgen Klopp will return as manager and that Real Madrid is perfect!
And according to the latest rumours coming out of Spain, Klopp already has big plans to reshape the Real Madrid squad, starting by showing Vinicius Jr the door.
The Brazilian winger is world-class on his good days, but is very inconsistent. His superb solo goal in the defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup at the weekend made headlines, but it was his first goal in SIXTEEN games. No elite winger should ever go that long without finding a goal.
Vini is out of contract in 2027, and according to the report, Klopp wants to get rid of the winger in the summer of 2026 – and cash in a gigantic amount – and fill the void on the left wing with Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams.
The Spanish international has not found his full form this season, with only three goals so far. However, the report claims that Klopp believes he can transform Williams into a goal-producing machine, just like he did with Sadio Mané and Mohamed Salah.
But of greater importance to English fans is the claim that he also wants Newcastle’s midfielder, Bruno Guimarães.
After declaring ‘An organizing midfielder, Klopp’s second request’, the report added: ‘Klopp’s second request to try and solve the problems that exist in Madrid will be the arrival of an organizing midfielder.
‘And the player he likes the most is Bruno Guimarães.’

Newcastle’s plans for Bruno Guimarães
This news comes at a time when TEAMtalk reports that they have been informed that Newcastle are trying to tie down the Brazilian international in midfield to a new and improved contract. His existing deal lasts until 2028.
Guimarães is next in line for a contract renewal, after Sven Botman signed new terms on Tuesday.
Guimarães is actually Newcastle’s top scorer in the Premier League this season with eight goals so far, and as expected, Newcastle have no intention of parting ways anytime soon.
If Newcastle succeed in convincing Guimarães to extend his stay at St. James’ Park, they will be in an exceptionally strong position to reject any offers coming from Madrid.
And of course, it is important to emphasize that as of now, Klopp is not the boss of Real Madrid, and the speculation that he is on his way to the Spanish capital is just that at the moment – speculation. – Another one that is written a lot about is Zinedine Zidane, who is basically waiting to become French national team manager. – Few believe he will choose a 3rd round as manager of Real Madrid.
