Jürgen Klopp‘s agent Marc Kosicke has dismissed reports linking the ex-Liverpool manager with a move to La Liga next season, amid speculation that Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid are interested in the German tactician.
Reports in Spain had claimed that Atlético Madrid were eyeing Klopp as a replacement for long-serving manager Diego Simeone.
The former Borussia Dortmund coach had also been linked with Real Madrid following the sack of Xabi Alonso in January.

Klopp has been out of coaching since leaving Liverpool at the end of the 2023/24 season after nine years at Anfield.
However, his representative has rubbished suggestions that the Premier League-winning manager is in talks with any Spanish club.
“There is no need to answer questions about matters that are just rumours. Nobody has contacted us at this time,” Kosicke said, according to Goal.
“Jürgen 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 dismissed speculation that Klopp could leave his position as head of football anytime soon.
“This is complete nonsense and completely plucked out of thin air. On the contrary, we are extremely satisfied with the work Jürgen Klopp is doing,” Mintzlaff said.
“He invests a great deal of time and effort; he is in constant communication with our coaches and sporting directors and continues to develop our Red Bull football philosophy in a sustainable way.
We are convinced that he is the right man for this job. That is where we are putting all our focus and energy.”
