Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo would welcome Jurgen Klopp as a replacement for Zinedine Zidane.

Zidane's Real Madrid future is up in the air with the La Liga giants currently stuck in a rut.

Los Blancos are well off the pace in the league - sitting a huge 16 points behind Barcelona - and slumped to a disappointing 2-2 Copa del Rey draw against Numancia last night.

Don Balon says Ronaldo is desperate for Real to appoint Liverpool boss Klopp as his replacement.

The German has turned Liverpool into one of the most entertaining teams in the Premier League.

It is their attacking prowess that has made Ronaldo crave Klopp's appointment, reports the Daily Express.
