Real Madrid Confidencial Madrid Will Release a Key Piece to Sign Xabi Alonso, OK to Bayer Leverkusen
Madrid will pay a small transfer fee to the Germans as a gesture of courtesy, and the replacement is expected to be Arbeloa, who will be released from the club
Real Madrid Has Already Started Moving Its Pieces to Secure the Signing of Xabi Alonso as the New Coach. A strategic operation that includes a clear gesture toward Bayer Leverkusen: the possible departure of Álvaro Arbeloa.
Arbeloa Is One of the Candidates the German Club Likes Most to Replace Xabi. The former Real Madrid defender has done a great job in the white academy, and his profile fits what Leverkusen is looking for. Young, with potential and a playing philosophy similar to Alonso's.
Arbeloa Appeals to Leverkusen
According to Florian Plettenberg, Arbeloa is on the list of possible successors. Leverkusen doesn't want to break the continuity line that Xabi Alonso has set. The coach of Madrid's Juvenil A meets all the requirements.
In Valdebebas, they won't put up obstacles. If Leverkusen decides to bet on him, the white club will give him the freedom to leave. Another sign that the relations between both clubs are excellent.
The move also serves as a courtesy gesture. Real Madrid is determined to sign Xabi Alonso and wants everything to be done on good terms.
Gentlemen's Agreement with Xabi Alonso
Xabi Alonso has a verbal agreement with Bayer Leverkusen. If Real Madrid calls, the German club will allow him to leave.
This was agreed upon when he renewed his contract. Therefore, there will be no conflicts or clauses blocking the operation.
Even so, Madrid wants to show respect and elegance. They will pay a small symbolic amount to Leverkusen. A gesture to seal the operation with class.
It's not a release clause, but a compensation agreed upon between both parties.
The amount will be low, well below what a top-level coach would cost. But it represents the good harmony between the three parties: Madrid, Xabi Alonso, and Bayer Leverkusen.
Everything Prepared for Ancelotti's Succession
Real Madrid is already working with the future in mind. With Ancelotti heading to the Brazilian national team, the club wants a reliable successor.
Xabi Alonso Is the Chosen One. Everything seems set for the plan to proceed without friction.
Now it only remains for the season to end. Madrid hopes to officially announce Xabi as soon as the season closes. Arbeloa, if nothing goes wrong, will fly to Germany to take his place.
