According to a media report, Bayer Leverkusen clarifies Star coach Xabi Alonso and therefore apparently now puts the pistol on the chest to the Spaniard. The motto: We need planning security in view of the impending advances of Real Madrid, which could soon become very concrete.
The championship can be more likely to forget Bayer Leverkusen, which became clear after the disappointing draw (1: 1) at FC St. Pauli at the weekend, and the people in charge of the workself may also have to conjure up a new coach for the new start in 2025/26.
For many weeks and months, Xabi Alonso has been associated with Real Madrid. At his ex-club, where he was active as a player between 2009 and 2014, he is considered the top candidate for the successor of Carlo Ancelotti.
Therefore, according to “Bild”, the Bayer bosses now slowly want to know what they are. According to the boulevard leaf, Alonso should not yet have said whether he will really stay in Leverkusen beyond the current season. So that the responsible persons plan transfers – and in case of doubt also looking for a new trainer – you should now put the pistol on the chest and have asked for a clear commitment to your future before the end of the season.
The Real Madrid officials would not have yet reported via a call and asked Alonso, but it is time to calculate in Leverkusen. The causes should not paralyze the plans at Bayer and the preparation for 2025/26, according to the requirement. Hence the clear demand for quick clarity.
Bayer Leverkusen: Alonso remains vague with a view of the future
Alonso’s contract with Bayer is dated until summer 2026, but during his last extension he is said to have been assured orally that he could switch to Real Madrid this summer if a suitable offer arrives. In this case, a transfer is expected in the double -digit million range.
When Alonso, after the likely title KO on Sunday evening, it was asked by “DAZN” how his team will deal with the speculation about his person, he said: “We still have four games. We are professionals, we have to prepare until the end. We are not allowed to lose our focus. I am sure that the team and I stay that way.”
He didn’t let himself look much more into the cards. “The future is next week,” he just said. “We are in football, it’s not good to look too far ahead. We want to end the season well and then we will see.”
