Updates on Xabi Alonso's Future: The Last Word Hasn't Been Said Yet

New Information Emerges About Xabi Alonso's Possible Arrival to the White Club's Bench

Xabi Alonso has been mentioned multiple times as the possible replacement for the Italian coach on Real Madrid's bench. In fact, many claim that the Basque ex-footballer will be the new coach of the white club next season, although Ancelotti is still linked to the team until June 2026.

However, reports from Germany have emerged that seem to distance Xabi Alonso from the possibility of taking Real Madrid's bench. In fact, in the German country, they place him closer to continuing another season at Bayer Leverkusen.

According to the newspaper "Bild", the ex-footballer is looking for a new house in Düsseldorf. Currently, he lives in an apartment building with his wife and their three school-aged children, but now he is looking for a new home.

There Are Updates Regarding His Future

José Félix Díaz, a journalist from the newspaper Marca, has spoken in recent hours about Alonso's future and his possible arrival at Real Madrid. According to the Spanish communicator, the situation of the Tolosa native is not as clear as it was recently indicated in Germany.

Although the ex-footballer plans to make a decision during this March, his entourage assures that he has not yet decided. Xabi Alonso is aware of Real Madrid's interest, but he also knows that his future depends on whether Ancelotti stays or not. Meanwhile, the Basque coach is aware that Leverkusen is satisfied with his work.

He Is Still Thinking About the Final Decision

Probably, the decision that both Real Madrid and Xabi Alonso have to make is one of the most complicated in recent times. The white club must decide which option to take. It seems clear that the choice is reduced to two options: staying with Ancelotti or making the leap with the Spanish coach.

There is no other viable alternative, especially considering that both the current coach of Real Madrid and Alonso have contracts until 2026. The club remains focused on the issue, but keeping in mind that the first team's coach is still Carlo Ancelotti. Florentino Pérez doesn't want to disrespect at any time the coach who has brought so much success to the entity.
