Former Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp will commentate on German television Telekom for matches at the upcoming World Cup and, during the presentation of his collaboration, opened up about the rumors linking him to Real Madrid.

The German coach insists that the Spanish club has not called him even once, despite numerous media outlets reporting on calls, conversations, offers, and countless other situations that are unreal.

"That is written by the same people as always. If Real Madrid had called me even once, we would have known about it. But that's nonsense because they haven't called me even once. Not once," Klopp said.

A revelation that makes it clear the Spanish club is not making any moves regarding a coaching change for next season; now more than ever, confidence in Alvaro Arbeloa is absolute, and at the Bernabeu, they have almost decided he will continue next season.

Despite everything, Klopp also explained that he does not rule out returning to the sidelines. He currently works at Red Bull but also knows that could change and admits he has no set plans: "For my age, I'm quite advanced but I still have time until retirement, who knows what the coming years have in store for me? I have no set plans about it," said the former German coach, who is not closing the door on becoming a coach again.

Klopp left the sidelines a year and a half ago to take time off, but since leaving Liverpool, rumors of his possible return to the bench have persisted. With the dismissal of Xabi Alonso, there was much speculation about his possible arrival at Real Madrid, but the club bet on Arbeloa, and for now, it does not seem that Florentino Perez is willing to call Klopp. If Arbeloa wins a title this season, even less so.

For now, despite a hesitant start, Arbeloa is beginning to reap the rewards of the work done over these two-plus months and currently has five consecutive wins, with very positive team performance, solidarity from all the players, and good soccer that has not been seen in Chamartin for some time.

In addition to Jurgen Klopp, if Arbeloa does not continue leading the Spanish club next season, many more names have been speculated about: Mauricio Pochettino and Massimiliano Allegri are two of the most talked-about names already on Madrid's agenda.

It was even said that Arbeloa could be fired before the end of the current season. However, the team has improved significantly in recent weeks, there are green shoots, and everything indicates that the Spanish club will be in the mix to compete for titles until the end.
