Top Real Madrid managerial candidate wants to sign three players for €170 million
At a time when Real Madrid are actively looking for a new manager to replace Alvaro Arbeloa, the name of Jurgen Klopp has dominated the headlines time and time again.
The former Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool coach is currently in a strategic role at Red Bull, but he is not averse to returning to coaching.
However, there have been mixed reports as far as Real Madrid are concerned, with some suggesting that he is more interested in taking the German national team job.
But a fresh report from Bild (h/t El Nacional) suggests Klopp could be interested in taking on the Real Madrid job, provided the club listen to his conditions.
The report suggests Klopp wants to make at least €170 million worth of investment into the Real Madrid squad and is looking for three key signings.
The first on the list is Nico Schlotterbeck. The German believes the Dortmund defender can solve Real Madrid’s problems at the back through his technical awareness and leadership.

Schlotterbeck has just signed a new contract at Dortmund but reportedly has a release clause which can be activated by Real Madrid this summer.
Another target for Klopp is Rodri. The German tactician wants the presence of a composed midfielder who can run things in the middle of the park.
Rodri fits the bill well, having already been linked with a move to Santiago Bernabeu despite the 2024 Ballon d’Or episode.
Finally, Klopp has identified Turkish sensation Kenan Yildiz as his primary attacking target for Real Madrid.
Yildiz is the undisputed star at Juventus, and his charismatic presence has made him quite a marketable player at Juve. However, he is going to cost a fortune, with the report pointing to a fee of around €70 million.
