Bayer Leverkusen would already have a replacement for Xabi Alonso...and he is also Spanish

Bayer Leverkusen is in full future planning due to the imminent departure of Xabi Alonso, who is getting closer to Real Madrid. The Basque coach has left an indelible mark on the German club, but everything points to him packing his bags to the Santiago Bernabéu at the end of this season. Therefore, Leverkusen's management does not want to leave anything to chance and is already discreetly working on his replacement.

One of the names gaining strength in recent hours is Xavi Hernández. The former FC Barcelona coach, who is currently free after closing his time on the Culé bench, emerges as an attractive option to maintain the offensive and possession-based style of play that has characterized the team under Alonso's guidance.

Xavi views the German bench favorably

According to the German newspaper 'Kicker', Xavi has already been approached and reportedly did not show initial rejection of the proposal. His international experience, command of English, and football philosophy align with what the aspirin entity is seeking. Alongside him, other alternatives are also being considered, such as Erik ten Hag or even Imanol Alguacil, who will leave Real Sociedad at the end of the season.

Simon Rolfes, Leverkusen's managing director, acknowledged that they are already working on different scenarios: "I am prepared for many possibilities," he stated. Indeed, the club does not want to waste time and aims high to maintain the momentum that Xabi Alonso has brought.
