As the season is about to end, there are rumours that Real Madrid are planning a managerial change ahead of the start of new season. Among some top candidates, Xabi Alonso tops the list. Although he have a contract with Bayer Leverkusen, the club won\u2019t stand in between his decision due to a gentleman\u2019s agreement. The CEO of Leverkusen, Carro revealed about this gentleman\u2019s agreement signed with Xabi Alonso.<\/p>\n
As the 2024-25 season nears its end, Real Madrid are reportedly considering a managerial shake-up ahead of the new campaign. Among the potential successors, former midfielder Xabi Alonso has emerged as the frontrunner to take charge at the Santiago Bernab\u00e9u.<\/p>\n
Alonso, currently managing Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen, has impressed the footballing world with his tactical brilliance and calm leadership. Despite being under contract with Leverkusen, a potential move to Madrid appears increasingly feasible due to a unique clause in his agreement with the German club.<\/p>\n
Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro recently confirmed the existence of a gentleman\u2019s agreement with Alonso. According to this informal pact, the club would not block his departure if a former team of his comes calling. Given Alonso\u2019s history as a key midfielder for Los Blancos, this opens the door wide for a sensational return.<\/p>\n
While nothing has been finalized yet, the combination of Real Madrid\u2019s interest and the mutual respect between Alonso and Leverkusen suggests that this deal could materialize smoothly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
