According to several outlets, including Goal and The Athletic, four profiles are dominating the discussions of the next manager for Real Madrid.

Jürgen Klopp is Florentino Pérez’s top priority, even though the German has firmly denied any contact; according to DH, he stated “All of this is absurd.

They haven’t called even once, not a single time.” Mauricio Pochettino, whose contract with the United States ends after the World Cup, is also highly valued internally for his experience managing star players.

José Mourinho, meanwhile, is openly dreaming of a return to the Bernabéu, where he ruled from 2010 to 2013.

According to Goal, Pérez is even considering a meeting with the Portuguese manager.

Didier Deschamps, however, is not in contact according to available information, with his entourage quickly dismissing the rumor. The summer saga is underway.
