Real Madrid Confidencial Xabi Alonso Is Very Close, Ramón de Mon Reveals How Much Madrid Will Have to Pay
The well-known communicator confirms that Xabi Alonso is about to join the Madrid team
The future of Real Madrid on the bench is beginning to take shape after a season full of stumbles at key moments. The defeats in the Champions against Arsenal and in the Copa del Rey against Barça have severely affected Carlo Ancelotti's standing. Despite his successes, the Italian understands the club's demands and knows that it is very difficult to continue next season.
Carlo Ancelotti's replacement is more than decided at Real Madrid. Xabi Alonso, who is excelling in his role at Bayer Leverkusen, is the chosen option to lead a new era at Santiago Bernabéu. Conversations are underway, and the German club will not prevent his departure, as there is a verbal agreement that respects the coach's wishes.
Ramón de Mon Confirms Real Madrid's Contacts with Xabi Alonso
Regarding Xabi Alonso's arrival at Real Madrid, Ramón Álvarez de Mon spoke on his official X profile. The well-known communicator left a quite relevant tweet about the signing of the Tolosa native by the Madrid team.
"My information is that Xabi Alonso would arrive free at Real Madrid. I don't rule out reaching some other type of agreement with Bayer, but they assure me that there won't be a payment as such", he wrote first.
Additionally, Ramón Álvarez de Mon confirmed the price that Real Madrid would have to pay in case Xabi Alonso is not released. "The reported clause of 20 million is for other teams where he hasn't been", he added.
Xabi Alonso Wants to Join Real Madrid After the Club World Cup
Finally, Ramón Álvarez de Mon confirmed the coach's priorities for the next season. "Meanwhile, Xabi's preference would be to start after the World Cup, but I don't know if it's already ruled out that he joins earlier", he concluded.
The Tolosa coach wants to start the season completely from scratch, so the Club World Cup would be led by an interim. If so, Xabi Alonso would sign from July 13, the day the tournament ends if the club reaches the final. Everything will depend on the round Real Madrid reaches.
