Xabi Alonso much closer to Real Madrid after Leverkusen CEO confirms his arrival
Amidst the news surrounding Ancelotti and his future at Real Madrid, the Bayer Leverkusen CEO took everyone by surprise. He spoke about Xabi Alonso and his departure, bringing him closer to the Whites this summer.
Until now, no one had spoken openly about what might happen. Ancelotti has left his future in the club’s hands, and Real Madrid doesn’t want to discuss it until the end of the season. Something similar to what happened with Xabi Alonso.
But while the Tolosa native says now is not the time to discuss his future, Fernando Carro has. The Bayer Leverkusen CEO was asked about Xabi Alonso. And he confirmed that his move to Real Madrid is closer than it seems.
It’s true that he began by saying that he « didn’t have an exit clause. » But he was keen to add that this won’t be an obstacle to Xabi Alonso leaving for Real Madrid. Furthermore, it seems clear that the only possibility is that he ends up joining Los Blancos.
« We have an amicable agreement. If a team he’s played for joins us, we’ll discuss it and we won’t put any obstacles in their way, » concluded the Bayer CEO. These statements confirm how easy it will be for the Basque coach to leave this summer.
Ancelotti will leave, but he’ll stay at Real Madrid after missing a foot and a half for months.
Real Madrid is the only possible destination for Xabi Alonso.
It’s true that Carro didn’t directly refer to Real Madrid, but he did so indirectly. And when he spoke of Xabi’s former teams, the only possibility was the Whites. They’re waiting for the Merengues’ offer to make everything official.
And last summer, Liverpool and Bayern Munich already tried to sign him. The Tolosarra native played for both teams and rejected them all. Although they were looking for a coach, another idea for his future came to mind.
He knew Florentino wanted him on the Bernabéu bench when Ancelotti left. And the door was open for this coming summer, even if it doesn’t happen, it’s not a big deal for him either. He’s happy at Bayer and still has a contract until 2026.
A meeting will determine Xabi Alonso’s future.
Xabi Alonso won’t join Real Madrid until Ancelotti decides to leave. And that won’t happen until the end of the season, when he will sit down to talk with the club. There, they want to mutually agree on their farewells so that Tolosarra can arrive.
