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.

Manchester City have confirmed that WSL record goal scorer Vivianne Miedema has had surgery on her left knee.
The Dutch international, who joined City from Arsenal this summer when her contract expired, will now "begin a period of rehabilitation at the City Football Academy, working closely with the Club's medical team," according to a club statement. The type and degree of the injuries have yet to be reported.Miedema had made an impressive start to life in Manchester, scoring twice, including in City's 2-2 opening day tie with Arsenal, and assisting once in five outings. "Everyone at City would like to wish Viv a full and speedy recovery," the statement read.
The attacker has missed City's previous three games due to a "slight niggle," according to manager Gareth Taylor, and she has been left out of the Netherlands' international squad.
Miedema missed the 2023 World Cup after injuring her ACL in Arsenal's Champions League loss to Lyon in December 2022, a month after her partner, Beth Mead, sustained the same injury.
The 28-year-old Miedema returned to action 10 months later, in Arsenal's WSL victory against Bristol City. The path to complete recovery has not been easy, with the forward having minor knee surgery in March that kept her out for many weeks.
