Xabi Alonso pledged loyalty to Bayer Leverkusen, at least for the next season, but the Spanish coach is not expected to stay longer at the helm of the ‘Aspirins’.
English media have uncovered details from his contract with the German club, above all, they have revealed a clause that allows him to leave at the end of next season. Alonso has a contract with Leverkusen until June 2026, but in 2025 the coach can leave if any club pays 15 million euros. This is an important figure, but also fair for one of the most talked-about coaches in circulation, a coach who ended Bayern Munich’s dominance, while competing full-time on all three fronts.
However, according to the ‘Sunday Mirror’, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, and Real Madrid could continue negotiations to lure Alonso, but for Bayern and Liverpool, the discussion is slightly different as these two clubs do not have the luxury to sacrifice a year to wait for Alonso.
This seems more like a pro-Real clause, as this year, in 2025, it is expected that Carlo Ancelotti will leave Madrid. In fact, according to the media, Alonso’s own desire is to manage Real Madrid.”
