Didac Aguirre Ramón de Mon announces the cost for Real Madrid to replace Carlo with Xabi.
The billion-dollar cost for the Ancelotti - Alonso switch that Real Madrid will have to pay
With the end of the season drawing closer, Xabi Alonso's arrival at Real Madrid is becoming a growing reality. After a rather irregular season from Carlo Ancelotti, the Italian coach is ready to leave for the Brazilian national team. An important change where the big question is the price the team had to pay.
According to information from Ramón Álvarez de Mon, a collaborator of Defensa Central's YouTube channel, Real Madrid won't have to pay anything. Despite Xabi and Ancelotti still having a year left on their contracts, the situation has been surprising. For Xabi, his arrival at Real Madrid will be free, so the team won't have to spend a single euro.
Ancelotti's situation is similar, with the coach forgiving the salary that was due for the remaining year of his contract. Having signed until 2026 as Real Madrid's coach, Ancelotti was entitled to a salary that he won't see after his recent decision.
The expenditure for Xabi and Ancelotti
Shining at Bayer Leverkusen since 2021, Xabi Alonso was the architect of the best era in the club's history. Achieving three titles, highlighting the undefeated Bundesliga, Xabi managed to completely transform Bayer. This is why the German team, fully trusting in the project, gave Xabi a contract until 2026.
His departure from Bayer to head to Real Madrid raised doubts about the money the merengue team would have to spend. However, the news given by Ramón de Mon has been a complete surprise, showing the excellent relationship between both clubs.
Ancelotti's departure has also shown the deep love the Italian has for Real Madrid. Being able to demand full payment for the remaining year of his contract, Ancelotti chose to forgive it and focus on his last matches.
Real Madrid's good fortune
Despite being willing to pay what was necessary to finalize Ancelotti's departure, Real Madrid was surprised. This situation has made it clear that when Real Madrid calls, it's best to eliminate all possible problems.
