Florentino Already Knows the Price to Pay for Xabi Alonso, Announced in Germany

The value to achieve Xabi Alonso's return is already known by Florentino Pérez

This season is likely to be Carlo Ancelotti's last as Real Madrid's coach. Given the irregularity of this campaign and the defeats against Arsenal, it is evident that Ancelotti's cycle has come to an end. Needing to find a replacement who meets Real Madrid's requirements, Florentino Pérez has set his sights on Xabi Alonso.

The current Bayer Leverkusen coach has captivated Florentino with his work in Germany. Turning Leverkusen into a competitive team, Xabi has shown his capabilities as a coach. Even so, his departure from the club to join Real Madrid presented itself as a highly complicated operation given his importance.

However, fortunately for Florentino and Real Madrid, Leverkusen has revealed the value they expect to obtain for Xabi's departure. A fee of between 15 to 20 million euros is what Bayer Leverkusen expects to obtain to bid farewell to Xabi Alonso.

The Value to Pay for Florentino Pérez

Having made history as a Real Madrid player, Xabi focused entirely on his role as a coach after his retirement. Training in the lower categories of Real Madrid and Real Sociedad, Bayer Leverkusen was his first big opportunity. Despite initial doubts, Xabi quickly managed to win the love and affection of the German fans.

Leading Leverkusen to achieve a historic double, his importance to the team is more than understandable. Similarly, the complications that have arisen to allow Xabi's departure are understandable, with the man from Tolosa being responsible for their successes.

However, the value that Leverkusen expects to obtain for Xabi's departure shows their willingness to negotiate with Real Madrid. Although, for the moment, there have been no approaches from Florentino Pérez, it is expected that these will not take long to occur.

The Operation for Xabi

With only a few months left before the start of the next market, Florentino Pérez is quite clear about signing Xabi. Aware that Ancelotti can't continue at Real Madrid, it is expected that Florentino will do what is necessary to finalize Xabi's return.
