Real Madrid's hierarchy is finding it hard to replace Zinedine Zidane, since their main targets or possible options to take over are currently employed. With that in mind, Florentino Pérez has been forced to negotiate with each possible successor to find the coach's next boss.
Following Massimiliano Allegri's snub, the Spanish tycoon has found the way to negotiate with Jürgen Klopp. The German boss has been named in many polls as the best option to replace Zidane, even if that means Pérez has to negotiate with Liverpool.
According to a report by Spanish website Don Balón, Klopp has already met with Florentino Pérez. The German boss' request seems to be something feasible, and it involves James Rodriguez's return to the Bernabeu.
The Colombian ace has risen from the ashes at Bayern during his one-year spell on loan from Los Blancos, and being a close follower of the Bundesliga, Klopp would like to have Rodriguez around in order to consider taking over as coach.
Bayern München is expected to pay the release clause included in Rodriguez's loan deal, but if Pérez really wants Klopp to coach his team, having James back would be a step in that direction.
