Klopp's agent rules out Real Madrid move

The future of Jurgen Klopp has once again become the subject of intense speculation, with Spanish reports linking the former Liverpool boss to the managerial hotseats at Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Klopp recently took up a high-profile boardroom role within the Red Bull empire, and those rumours suggested he might be eyed for a sensational return to the touchline.

His long-time representative, Marc Kosicke, moved quickly to dismiss any approach. "There is no need to answer questions about matters that are just rumours. Nobody has contacted us at this time," he said, adding: "Jurgen Klopp is very happy with his current role at Red Bull, and what is being said about negotiations to coach Real Madrid are just rumours for now." Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzlaff also rejected the reports as baseless.
