Bayer Leverkusen Director Resolves Xabi Alonso’s Future
The Future of Xabi Alonso: Staying Put at Bayer Leverkusen
Recent developments have shed light on the future of Xabi Alonso, with speculation linking him to a potential return to Real Madrid coming to a halt. Despite rumors swirling around his possible move back to the Spanish capital, it seems that Alonso will be staying put at Bayer Leverkusen.
Carlo Ancelotti’s Future at Real Madrid
Carlo Ancelotti and Xabi Alonso both have contracts with Real Madrid until 2026. However, there is an unwritten rule at the Santiago Bernabeu that a season without any trophies could lead to a managerial change. With Real Madrid still competing in all major competitions this season and the Club World Cup on the horizon, Ancelotti’s future remains uncertain.
Xabi Alonso’s Decision
Speculation was rife that Xabi Alonso would announce his decision on his future ahead of Bayer Leverkusen’s match against VfL Bochum. However, Alonso only mentioned that there was ‘nothing to decide’ at the moment, keeping fans and pundits guessing.
Confirmation from Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen’s Sporting Director, Simon Rolfes, put an end to the speculation surrounding Alonso’s future by confirming that the midfielder will stay at the BayArena next season. With a contract in place, Alonso’s immediate future seems secure.
The Spanish Media’s Focus on Alonso
Despite the clarity provided by Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso’s future may continue to be a topic of discussion in the Spanish media. However, Alonso is known for his careful approach to decision-making and is likely to assess his options thoroughly before making any moves. If Alonso indeed stays at Bayer Leverkusen, it could impact Real Madrid’s decision regarding Ancelotti’s future at the club.
