Jurgen Klopp is eyeing the Real Madrid position as frustrations mount behind the scenes at Red Bull, where he is presently the global football director. According to UOL, the former Liverpool manager has told close acquaintances that he is considering leaving Red Bull to join Real Madrid or the Brazilian national team. While neither party has made a formal contact, indications indicate Klopp is dissatisfied with the Austrian group. Klopp joined Red Bull after leaving Liverpool in 2024, following nine years of glory at Anfield.

After months of speculation, Napoli have finally sealed the permanent purchase of Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea for a sum of up to €45 million.
The Belgian striker has signed a three-year contract at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, ending his dismal second tenure at Stamford Bridge.The 31-year-old returned the Blues in the summer of 2021 for a then-club record €115 million price, seven years after his first spell with the club ended.
However, Lukaku played only 44 games (scoring 15 times), resulting in a season on loan at Inter, from whom Chelsea had purchased the striker, and he has now returned to Italy with Napoli, who will pay an initial €30 million and may owe an additional €15 million in bonuses.
He spent last season on loan at Roma, scoring 21 goals in 47 games, and his return to Serie A reunites him with former Inter manager Antonio Conte.
The 2022/23 Serie A winners will be hopeful that the signings of Conte and Lukaku will help them recover from last season's poor 10th place result.
