Following the decisions to leave Jurgen Klopp and Thomas Tuchel for Liverpool and Bayern Munich, respectively, at the end of the season, speculation began to spread about the takeover of these two teams by Xabi Alonso, whose work at Leverkusen has always surprised in a positive way. Christopher Michael Z foosball.news It indicates, however, that Real Madrid should not be excluded from this speculation.
The journalist states that the Royal Club is the absolute dream destination for the Spaniard. Carlo Ancelotti's contract has been extended in 2026, and Michel adds that Alonso opens the list of potential candidates prepared by the club to take over the leadership of the team after the Italian. Now the Bayer coach has to make an important decision, also in the context of moving to the Spanish capital, because he can stay at his current club for a year or two and then take a job at Real Madrid.
Of course, he already has attractive job options in Liverpool and Munich. The German media unanimously confirm that the Bayer coach will be able in the summer to leave for Bayern, Liverpool or Real Madrid, his previous clubs in his football career, in exchange for 15-20 million euros included in a special clause included in his contract, which was also extended last summer until 2026. .
Michel points out that an important aspect for Basque may be the fact that neither Bayern nor Liverpool are clubs that include release clauses in their coaches' contracts. For Alonso, the main long-term goal is to lead Real Madrid and that is why he would like to have the door open for this club at any time. If the coach decides to take an intermediate step to get a job in Germany or England, someone will have to give in in the negotiations. The journalist concludes that all of this increases the chances of Xavi staying in Leverkusen for a longer period.
