Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp 'open to holding Real Madrid talks'

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has allegedly expressed interest in holding talks with Real Madrid about their managerial vacancy.

According to Don Balon, the German coach is keen to speak to Los Blancos but is expecting the Reds to attempt to block their approach for him.

The report goes on to claim that Klopp has already drawn up tentative plans regarding which players he would offload if he took the helm at Real.

Kiko Casilla, Achraf Hakimi, Jesus Vallejo, Marcos Llorente and Borja Mayoral would allegedly be sold on if the former Borussia Dortmund head coach were to succeed Zinedine Zidane at the Bernabeu.

The Frenchman announced his shock resignation shortly after Real defeated Klopp's Liverpool 3-1 in the Champions League final.
