Real Madrid have been linked with a move for manager Xabi Alonso for some time now, and with Carlo Ancelotti struggling earlier this season, at one point it was spoken of as almost a given that he would arrive next summer. However, Bayer Leverkusen claim that this may not be the case.
According to Leverkusen general manager Fernando Carro, they expect Alonso to remain at the club. The Spaniard shares a strong relationship with Alonso, whom he brought to the club.
“We assume he will stay. There is no other indication,” he explained in an interview with the Kölner Stadtanzeiger, according to Sport.
“We maintain a very close and trusting relationship with him, his family and his agent. His contract lasts for another year and a half. As always, he is involved in all processes and planning, even beyond this season.
Christoph Peters, president of TSV Meerbusch, recently told Kicker that Alonso’s family is also based there. Jon Alonso, his son, plays for the under-17 team.
“Xabi Alonso or his wife are in all our U-17 games. In the last game, with Jon on the bench, Xabi spent 80 minutes watching the game in the stands even though his son was not playing. I think it’s great.”
Alonso is expected to replace Ancelotti whenever the Italian leaves. However, their contracts conveniently expire in 2026. It was recently reported that Real Madrid were making plans in case they had to sack Ancelotti, and it is possible that Los Blancos will postpone a move for Alonso unless they deem it necessary to bring the move forward. .
