This has been rumored for many months, as coach Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid Club are getting closer to parting ways at the end of this season.
Coach Xabi Alonso is considered the number one candidate to replace Mr. Ancelotti's seat at Bernabeu.
Coach Alonso's future has been a topic of interest for more than a year. Around this time in 2024, Coach Alonso held a press conference to announce that he would continue to be with Leverkusen for at least one more season.
There are many top clubs pursuing this former player, notably Real Madrid, Liverpool and Bayern Munich - all of which are Alonso's former teams.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Coach Alonso once expressed his desire to lead Real Madrid. His commitment to Leverkusen for another year is almost to wait for Coach Ancelotti to leave.
The former Spaniard began his coaching career with Real Sociedad's B team from 2019-2022, before taking charge of Leverkusen three years ago in the summer.
In just that short period of time, coach Alonso helped Leverkusen win the Bundesliga, German Cup and German Super Cup in 2024.
This season, they still played quite steadily when finishing second in the Bundesliga and reaching the round of 16 of the Champions League.
But Leverkusen clearly no longer fits the ambitions of a top strategist like Alonso.
More than a month ago, coach Jurgen Klopp was contacted by Real Madrid, but the German strategist announced his resignation. Thereby, coach Alonso became the number one candidate to succeed Mr. Ancelotti at Bernabeu.
Currently, coach Alonso has only confirmed that he will leave Leverkusen. But according to journalist Romano, the former Spanish player and Real Madrid will soon announce the signing of the contract.
