Former Liverpool attacker Ryan Babel has dismissed talk of Jurgen Klopp moving to Real Madrid in the future.

It's been suggested Klopp could succeed Carlo Ancelotti in 2025.

But Babel told the Mirror: "There are not many teams, in my opinion, that deserve Jürgen Klopp. He is a coach who must be accepted for who he is. He is someone who needs time to fully express his way of playing.

"So, having said that, although I would love to see him be successful with a team like Real Madrid, we know that Real Madrid is not a team that will give him two or three years to eventually show the football he wants to play. That's why I don't think Real Madrid deserve him.

"Even a team like Bayern does not have much patience with coaches.

"There are rumours that he can coach the German national team... I don't know about that. I think he will definitely surprise a lot of people."
