Bayer Leverkusen has made it clear that they have no plans to allow their coach Xabi Alonso to leave, despite the growing interest from Real Madrid and Manchester City.

Both within the German club and in the leadership, headed by Simon Rolfes, there is a firm stance to retain Alonso, who, in turn, has a strong commitment to the project in the Bundesliga. While speculation swirls around Pep Guardiola's future at City and the potential succession at Real Madrid's helm, Leverkusen insists that their coach is not available.

City and Real Madrid have their eye on Xabi Alonso

Alonso's established figure in Leverkusen has raised expectations due to his playing style and results, making him an attractive option for elite clubs in Europe. However, Rolfes, the team's sporting director, has been emphatic in his statements to German television RTL, reaffirming the intention to honor the coach's contract until 2026. According to Rolfes, there are no indications that the Spaniard wishes to change direction, a message aimed at quelling rumors and warning those seeking his coaching talent.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen continues their season under Alonso's leadership, achieving standout performances in Germany that have bolstered confidence in his work. With a valid contract and the club's backing, the coach seems focused on the current project, suspending any possibility of an early departure to other leagues.
