Klopp and Cristiano finally together, the deal that would make it possible

Cristiano Ronaldo has already headed to the United Arab Emirates, Dubai, to continue his preparations on his own to find a new club after terminating his contract with Manchester United just before the World Cup in Qatar. The Portuguese trained at Real Madrid's Ciudad Deportiva de Real Madrid facilities in Valdebebas, taking advantage of a few days' rest in the Spanish capital.

The former Real Madrid player for nine seasons, in which he became the club's all-time top scorer (450), personally asked Florentino Pérez to train at the Real Madrid facilities. He did so with his son and on an adjoining pitch, unnoticed by the players who trained under Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, less than a fortnight before they play their first game after the World Cup break against Valladolid.

Jose Mourinho tops the list of names being considered in Portugal to succeed Fernando Santos as national coach, a position in which the current Roma boss has expressed interest on several occasions.

Santos, 68, left the 'quinas' on Thursday after eight years, during which he won Euro 2016 in France and the Nations League in 2019, Portugal's first senior trophies. His successor is now the subject of much speculation in the country, with Mourinho and current Portugal Under-21 coach Rui Jorge the most talked-about names in the local press.

Klopp to Portugal national team

After Portugal's elimination, the spotlight has turned to José Mourinho as national team coach. According to the Gazzetta dello Sport, the current Roma coach is the favourite to succeed Fernando Santos, whose time is numbered after his side's quarter-final exit at the hands of Morocco in Qatar. The choice could mean the return of CR7 to the national team, after he announced days ago that he was leaving for good. In addition, a German journalist published in Bild Sport his wish for Jurgen Klopp to coach the Portugal national team and thus be able to coach Cristiano Ronaldo, although it all remained just a wish.
