Rumor circulates: is Xabi Alonso rejoining the club heart?
Alright, here we go. Xabi Alonso might be bidding farewell to Bayer Leverkusen, and the rumor mill is swirling with juicy tidbits. Known as the master of the midfield, Alonso's exit from Leverkusen seems inevitable. And what's causing a fuss? A potential return to his homeland, that's what.
While the breakup isn't official, Real Sociedad's eyes are set on a major coaching overhaul. Imanol Alguacil is leaving after a six-year stint, and their new target? No other than old-timer, Xabi Alonso, if reports from Spain are to be believed.
But here's the kicker. The club from San Sebastian is far from being a top-tier powerhouse, currently lingering in 10th place in Spain. With Real Madrid in the Champions League, Alonso might jump at the chance to join them instead.
Now, let's talk about the insider scoop. Real Sociedad's president, Jokin Aperribay, is hell-bent on bringing Alonso back to the Bay of Biscay; after all, Alonso is a Basque Country native who started his career at Real Sociedad before heading to Liverpool, Real, and Bayern. Was he destined for this all along?
However, it's not just Real Sociedad after Alonso's signature. Real Madrid is also eyeing the talent, making his decision all the more tricky. A "gentleman's agreement" allows Alonso to pursue opportunities with former clubs like Real Madrid and Real Sociedad if they make the move, leaving Alonso's future uncertain. Will he return to his heart club? Only time will tell.
