Xabi Alonso continues to closely monitor the Spanish market to strengthen his current club, Bayer Leverkusen.

As reported by "Fichajes.net", the German team is still exploring the market in search of young talents. This way, they have focused their attention on one of the most outstanding figures of Athletic Club.

Mikel Jauregizar, a player with great potential in the Basque team, has captivated the team led by Xabi Alonso. The German club believes that his profile would fit perfectly to strengthen the squad for the next season.

Bayer Leverkusen, Attentive to the Spanish Footballer

The midfielder from Athletic has experienced remarkable growth in his game, which has attracted the attention of various European clubs.

However, Bayer Leverkusen seems determined to do everything possible to sign the young talent and bring him to the Bundesliga.

The strategy of betting on young players has been essential to the success of the German team under the direction of Xabi Alonso. The man from Tolosa believes that Mikel Jauregizar would fit perfectly into his play style, regardless of the team.

If he doesn't leave Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso could bet on his arrival. However, another question arises if, finally, the man from Tolosa ends up arriving in Madrid next season.

What If He Comes to Real Madrid?

If Xabi Alonso ends up arriving at Real Madrid next season, Mikel Jaureguizar would be one of the names recommended by the Spanish coach to the Madrid board.

In the white club, they need a young midfielder who can take on the challenge of leading the midfield of the best team in the world. Xabi Alonso, for his project, could consider the Athletic Club player for this role.

Meanwhile, Athletic Club doesn't want to part with one of its young talents. However, they are aware that the opportunity to play in an elite club can be very attractive for the player.

Moreover, the footballer could continue to grow much more in a club like Real Madrid and under the orders of Xabi Alonso.
