Xabi Alonso's demand to join Real Madrid

The future of the Real Madrid bench continues to generate uncertainty, but there is one name that stands out above the rest: Xabi Alonso. The current coach of Bayer Leverkusen is the primary candidate to lead the white team in the future, but he has made his position clear. He will only assume the position if Carlo Ancelotti's departure occurs naturally, without any interference on his part. The Spaniard does not want to be the trigger for a premature exit of the Italian, which could complicate the plans of the Madrid club.

For over a year, Alonso's name has been linked to Real Madrid. His impressive work in the Bundesliga has made him one of the most attractive options for the technical direction, and at the Santiago Bernabéu, they view his return favorably, this time on the sidelines. However, the contractual situation of Ancelotti, with an agreement valid until 2026, adds a layer of complexity to the operation.

Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, would not hinder Alonso's departure if he decides to accept Real Madrid's offer. However, the Spanish coach also does not want to prolong the uncertainty until the end of the season, which will force Florentino Pérez to make decisions in the coming months. In the last season, Alonso already made his position clear when he rejected proposals from teams like Liverpool and Bayern Munich, prioritizing his project in Germany.

With the Real Madrid bench up in the air, the outcome will depend on Ancelotti's continuity and Alonso's firm decision. Madrid has already chosen its future coach, but the timing of his arrival is still undefined.
