XABI ALONSO TO REAL MADRID SOON? LEVERKUSEN BOSS ADMITS 'GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT' – ANCELotti'S JOB UNDER THREAT
🚨 Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid Incoming?
A return to the Bernabéu for Xabi Alonso could be on the cards, as Bayer Leverkusen's chief has confirmed a “gentlemen’s agreement” that would allow the in-demand manager to leave this summer — and Real Madrid could be first in line if they part ways with Carlo Ancelotti.
⚪️ The Situation
Alonso has guided Leverkusen to an unbeaten Bundesliga-winning season and into the Europa League semifinals — making him Europe’s hottest managerial property.
According to Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro, the club won’t stand in his way if a former club like Real Madrid or Liverpool comes knocking, citing a verbal agreement made when Alonso took over.
🗣️ “He will decide. We hope he stays, but we respect the agreement,” Carro told German media.
🔄 Real Madrid’s Managerial Question
Carlo Ancelotti’s future is uncertain, especially after their recent Champions League struggles.
While Ancelotti has a deal until 2026, pressure is mounting — and Florentino Pérez reportedly views Alonso as the perfect long-term successor.
Alonso is not only a club legend, but also someone who matches Madrid’s vision of modern, tactical football.
🔁 The ‘Gentlemen’s Agreement’
Allows Alonso to leave for certain clubs, including Real Madrid, without penalty.
Leverkusen won’t demand compensation if the agreed-upon conditions are met.
Alonso has remained coy about his future, but Madrid's job could be the one offer that turns his head.
🇪🇸 Why Alonso Makes Sense for Madrid
Knows the club, fans, and expectations from his playing days.
His style of play is progressive, yet rooted in discipline — much like the Real DNA.
Has shown ability to develop players and thrive under pressure.
🗓️ What to Watch Next
Madrid’s Champions League outcome could determine Ancelotti’s fate.
Leverkusen’s final few games may be Alonso’s last at the helm.
If Ancelotti departs, expect Madrid to move quickly.
