Social Media Share: 🔗 Real Madrid hints at Xabi Alonso arrival
You've got your eyes peeled for this one, mates! According to the latest buzz, football sensation Xabi Alonso's move to Real Madrid is on the horizon, and he's reportedly signed a three-year contract that'll keep him in Madrid until 2028[1][2].
The rumors have been swirling for weeks, but recently, Marca published a jubilant photo of Alonso on their homepage, proclaiming the transfer as a done deal[2]. Supposedly, the Basque will serve as Carlo Ancelotti's replacement at his former club. Neither Real nor Leverkusen has confirmed it yet, but insiders say Alonso already informed Leverkusen of his decision to bounce after this season[3].
If the gossip is true, Alonso's first gigs with Madrid will happen after the Club World Cup (up until July 13)[2]. Simultaneously, he's said to be taking along two co-trainers from Leverkusen, including Argentine Sebastián Parrilla[2].

With no confirmation in sight, Alonso's exit from Leverkusen might just be a wee bit strange[3]. Case in point, Leverkusen's captain Granit Xhaka already gave a nod to Alonso's potential departure[3]. In an ode to their time together, Xhaka voiced, "No matter what happens, we've enjoyed an amazing time together. Every team wishes for a coach like that[3]."

Alonso, a former Real professional from 2009 to 2014, took charge of the Rhinelanders in October 2022 and transformed them into a powerhouse European club in just two and a half years[4]. Alonso steered Leverkusen to their first-ever championship and DFB Cup win last year[4]. Though Leverkusen fell short in titles this year, their second-place finish in the Bundesliga still secured them a spot in the Champions League[4].
