Spanish online media outlet Relevo's resident renowned Italian transfer journalist Matteo Moretto, has refuted rumours claiming that Real Madrid had decided to immediately sack manager Xabi Alonso and appoint former Liverpool legendary manager Jürgen Klopp as his replacement in his paid column on Thursday.
Moretto said that the La Liga giants had never even approach Klopp and had no intention of doing so.
Furthermore, Moretto said that Jürgen Klopp has stated dozens of times that he has no intention of coaching as a manager ever again and is satisfied with his role as an advisor to the Red Bull Group. Therefore, Moretto believes this rumour is simply another attempt by some to exploit Klopp's name for publicity.
Despite Real Madrid's midweek Champions League defeat, the fact that several players, including Rodrygo, Jude Bellingham, and Thibaut Courtois, insisted in post-match interviews that the team still fully trusts Alonso, suggests that claims of the club's former legendary Spain international defensive midfielder has "completely lost control of the dressing room" is merely a one-sided assertion by certain media outlets and journalists.
He said, he suspects this rumour is simply fabricated by certain media outlets and journalists to attract attention.
Moretto added that, this also applies to the rumours surrounding Klopp, Alonso and Liverpool.
He stated that the Liverpool management has consistently maintained 100% trust in head coach Arne Slot.
This will not change despite Mohamed Salah's recent accusation that he was "thrown under the bus for the team's recent poor form."
That said, as with the situations with Slot and Liverpool, Real Madrid won't continue to trust Alonso indefinitely. To ensure his position remains secure, Alonso must deliver outstanding performances and wins starting this weekend against Alavés.
Moretto's rebuttal is a direct slap in the face to the Spanish online media outlet El Mundo, which falsely claimed that Real Madrid would immediately sack manager Xabi Alonso after the club's midweek Champions League defeat!
On November 8th, El Mundo falsely claimed that Real Madrid's management had decided to immediately sack Alonso after the club's midweek Champions League loss to Manchester City and appoint Klopp as his replacement.
The report also falsely claimed that if Klopp rejected this offer, Real Madrid would once again appoint their former France legendary international midfielder and manager, Zinedine Zidane.
Despite this being only one side of the story, Sky Sports' Chief News Reporter, Kaveh Solhekol, whose style has been heavily criticized, has not missed the opportunity to sensationalize the issue.
In recent days, he has taken the opportunity to conduct live reports outside Real Madrid's headquarters, which has attracted a new round of harsh criticism from Los Blancos' fans!
