Real Madrid are gearing up for a crucial period as they look to finalise their coach for the season ahead.

A number of top coaches have been linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, including Jose Mourinho, Didier Deschamps, and Mauricio Pochettino.

However, Jurgen Klopp has been the standout name so far, with Real Madrid willing to prioritise him over any other option, including Mourinho.

But there is not much certainty whether Klopp would like to leave his current role at Red Bull and return to coaching. Real Madrid, therefore, have set some strict guardrails.

Klopp has to move first

According to Fabrizio Romano, Real Madrid maintains that Klopp has to make the first move if he is to become the next coach at Santiago Bernabeu.

This is a non-negotiable ask from Los Blancos, who do not want to disturb Klopp or the Red Bull group.

Klopp, after all, holds a key position within the Red Bull sports chain of command, serving as the global sports director who oversees operations across all of the franchise’s global teams.
