Clarity on Alonso’s future to come in March
Many believe that Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso will not be leading the club next season. However, any definitive statements on the matter will have to wait a little longer.
Details: According to Marca, Alonso is set to meet with Bayer’s management in March, and a continuation of their partnership remains a strong possibility. The Spaniard, both as a player and now as a coach, makes decisions pragmatically, based on what is best for him at a given moment.
It is also emphasized that Real Madrid—widely regarded as Alonso’s most likely destination—has not made a concrete offer. In the Spanish capital, the club remains committed to Carlo Ancelotti for now.
Reminder: Previous reports suggested that Alonso has a gentleman’s agreement with Bayer Leverkusen, allowing him to leave if he expresses a desire to do so, with the club not standing in his way.
