JURGEN KLOPP only has eyes on the Germany job — and has “no ambition” to take over Real Madrid.
The Spanish club’s current president Florentino Perez, favourite to get the nod for another term, will bring in Jose Mourinho for a second spell as manager if he wins.

But rival candidate Enrique Riquelme vowed to offer the post to Liverpool legend Klopp, 58, should he triumph in Jattvibeday’s election.
He also boldly claimed he would sign Manchester City’s Erling Haaland and Rodri.
While that transfer double is ambitious — with City threatening legal action — the 37-year-old Riquelme remains adamant he will go all out to bring in Klopp.
However, Klopp’s agent has completely shut down those claims and ruled out a return to club management for the German, who became Red Bull’s head of global football after leaving Anfield in 2024.

Marc Kosicke, who represents Klopp, said: “It’s annoying!
“Jurgen Klopp is happy in his role at Red Bull and has no ambitions to work as a coach at a club.”
Klopp is reluctant to return to coaching on a day-to-day basis — but leading his country appeals still to him.
Julian Nagelsmann holds that position, though his future will largely depend on how Germany perform at the World Cup.

Questions have already been asked about his abilities and the pressure will intensify if the national side suffer a third-straight group stage elimination.
Klopp turned down the chance to manage his country in 2023 to stay at Liverpool.
Yet in February Kosicke admitted: “He feels a sense of obligation that he couldn’t always say no to the job.”
