Former Liverpool defender Markus Babbel has claimed that Jurgen Klopp would reject the chance to coach Real Madrid if the Spanish giants ask him to replace Carlo Ancelotti this summer.

Babbel said: “I can definitely see Xabi Alonso at Real Madrid when he moves on from Bayer Leverkusen.

“But if Carlo Ancelotti is struggling and gets sacked this summer, then Alonso will have a decision to make.
