According to the report, it is also clear where the Spanish double coach will continue: at Champions League record winner Real Madrid.
Bayer is already looking for an Alonso successor
Alonso has already agreed on a collaboration with the royal, it is said. Some details would still have to be finalized, but there is already a two-year contract for discussion.

The unclear future of Xabi Alonso has dominated the discussions about Bayer Leverkusen in the past few weeks. Neither the Spaniard nor the association officially announced how things will continue after the season. The Bayer bosses had recently increased the pressure on Alonso and emphasized that they need a quick decision to get planning security.
It is completely unclear what effects an Alonso deduction has on the future of Florian Wirtz. The exceptional talent could also leave the factory club in summer. However, this only in return for an extremely high transfer, which is far beyond 100 million euros. What exactly Wirtz is planning, he has not yet reported to the club.
