Xabi Alonso has been tipped to leave Werkself next summer to join Real Madrid, but the Basque manager has made no such move.
At least that’s according to Marca, who claim that neither the manager nor the club have made a move regarding his future, knowing that his contract expires in 2026. Alonso will make a decision on his future in March, and it is underlined that he tends to make these decisions with his head rather than his heart. As for the rumors, the Spanish newspaper claims that Alonso will publicly deny any agreement with Real Madrid during his next press conference.
Alonso back at Real?
They admit that there is an agreement between Leverkusen and Alonso, which would allow him to leave if he decides to do so, but nothing more. On the other hand, it has been noted that the Merengues did not change coaches before the end of the season in their last two recruitments.
According to reports in Germany, Leverkusen’s entourage believe he will leave the club next summer, while there is no doubt that Real Madrid value him as an option to take over on the bench at a given moment. These rumors have been fueled by Real Madrid’s poor form and the pressure put on Carlo Ancelotti. If things don’t improve, the Italian will likely be forced to leave at the end of the season.
