Didac Aguirre Xabi Alonso Communicates His Decision to Bayer and the Club Makes It Official
The decision Xabi Alonso has made regarding his future has been revealed by Bayer
For several months, one of the most persistent rumors at Real Madrid is the arrival of Xabi Alonso. Given the doubts left by Carlo Ancelotti this season, Xabi has been seen as his ideal replacement. However, a recent revelation from Bayer Leverkusen has clarified the future that Xabi has decided.
"Real Madrid? No, he's staying; there's nothing more, he has said there's nothing; he has a contract with us." These were the words with which Bayer's sporting director, Simon Rolfes, assured Xabi's continuity. Despite the desire of Madrid fans to see him on the merengue bench starting this summer, everything indicates that this won't be possible.
This statement has also left Real Madrid with fewer options for the bench for the next season. With Ancelotti having a contract until 2026, just like Xabi, Real Madrid can choose to wait another season or look for a replacement for the Italian.
Bayer's Confirmation
Arriving at Bayer Leverkusen in 2022, Xabi Alonso has completely changed the team's identity. From being a club with a historic title drought, Xabi achieved a double during the last campaign. Achieving feats like winning the Bundesliga without losing a single match, Xabi managed to establish himself in the watchful eyes of Real Madrid.
While the rumors about his supposed return to Valdebebas were getting stronger, Bayer's confirmation has silenced everything. Despite the deep love Xabi has for Real Madrid, it seems the coach seeks to fulfill his contract with the Germans.
This would leave Real Madrid without their best option for a bench that, during this season, has made evident the need for a change. Although this news wasn't the desired one for Real Madrid, the club knows that everything can change over time.
Xabi's Future
Whether this summer or the next, the reality is that Xabi Alonso is destined to return to Valdebebas to begin a new and successful era. With the experience he has gained and knowing what it is to win everything with Real Madrid, Xabi remains the best option.
