Bayer Leverkusen denies any release clause in Alonso's contract

The future of Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso remains uncertain, fueling media speculation linking the Spanish manager to a potential move to Real Madrid. However, Leverkusen has its own perspective on the matter.

Details: Reports previously claimed that Alonso's contract with Bayer includes a release clause allowing him to leave for Liverpool, Bayern Munich, or Real Madrid. However, the club's CEO, Fernando Carro, firmly denies these claims.

Quote: “I can 100 percent deny that there are any guarantees or agreements as reported in the media. The focus of all players, coaches, training staff, and the board of directors is here and now. We have plenty to do on the pitch from today until the end of the year. I am often annoyed by such speculation,” Carro stated in an interview with The Athletic.
