Surprise in Madrid: Xabi Alonso Signs a Creative Midfielder for €12 Million

Signing Confirmed for Next Season and Real Madrid Doubts the Operation

The Future of Real Madrid's Bench is at stake more than ever in the coming days. There is a feeling that the Copa final could end up being decisive for Ancelotti. If he doesn't defeat Barça and win the title, it could lead to his departure at the end of the season.

In his place, it would be Xabi Alonso who would arrive, or at least that seems to be the case after the words of Leverkusen's CEO. He confirmed the agreement they have with the man from Tolosa not to prevent his signing by Real Madrid. But everything could take an unexpected turn due to the latest news.

With everything hanging in the air, Xabi Alonso is already planning the next season, but for Bayer. For this, the aspirin team would have secured the first signing for next year. According to Bild, the Basque coach has had a lot of responsibility in it.

It is Ibrahim Maza, a 19-year-old Algerian who plays for Hertha Berlin and plays as a midfielder. With a very offensive profile, he is capable of generating play, which has caught attention. Leverkusen would have managed to secure his arrival for 12 million euros for next week.

Xabi Alonso Awaits What Happens with Ancelotti

Every time Xabi Alonso has been asked about Real Madrid, he has said that he is focused on Bayer. As long as the season is in play, he doesn't want to think about anything else that might distract him. But it seems evident that his future is heading toward the merengue team.

Real Madrid Only Thinks of Him as the next coach when Ancelotti is no longer in the position. And that is precisely the doubt, as he still has one year of contract ahead. Everything depends on whether he wants to finish it or if an agreement is reached this summer for his farewell.

Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso Will Continue Thinking About Bayer Leverkusen, even signing for the Germans. Ibrahim is the first, but he could continue with more reinforcements. Also thinking about the possible departures that may occur, some even heading to Madrid.
