Xabi Alonso’s Move to Real Madrid Set for Smooth Completion

Xabi Alonso is getting ready to leave Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season. He is expected to become Real Madrid’s new manager without any problems. The two clubs have a great relationship, and Leverkusen has allowed Alonso to pursue his long-time dream move.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Xabi Alonso announced that he will step down as Bayer Leverkusen coach after their final two Bundesliga matches. He leaves after leading Leverkusen to an undefeated league campaign in 2023-24 and achieving a domestic double. It is one of the most successful periods in the club’s history. Sources at Real Madrid indicate that Alonso will replace Carlo Ancelotti. Ancelotti’s tenure has been filled with trophies and broken records. The process of Alonso’s move is expected to be easy. Real Madrid and Leverkusen’s strong relationship means there won’t be any issues with compensation or contract details. Alonso’s wish, which he communicated a year ago, will be fulfilled.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

This change marks a new era for Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti’s reign will end after Madrid’s last LaLiga match against Real Sociedad. Real Madrid is currently leading LaLiga and is in good form. They have already secured the title and are still in the running for the Champions League. Xabi Alonso’s arrival is seen as natural because of his impressive coaching abilities and strong connection with the club. He leaves Leverkusen after an unforgettable season, with his team set to finish first in the Bundesliga, ahead of their rivals.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Alonso will say goodbye to Leverkusen fans and players, with his last home match against Borussia Dortmund. Real Madrid will then officially present him as their new head coach, starting a new chapter at the Santiago Bernabeu. Madrid’s next match is against Real Sociedad. They are already champions, and their focus is now on the Champions League final. Bayer Leverkusen will finish their record-breaking Bundesliga season and prepare for the DFB-Pokal final, aiming for a domestic double before Alonso departs for Spain.
