Xabi Alonso gave something different to this club, and last season managed to bring this club to the semifinals of the European league is an achievement even though they failed from AS Roma, but how he can change Bayern Leverkusen quickly is really surprising, and his coaching career has a good future.
Before this, many rumors said Xabi might go to Real Madrid. But with this contract extension, it won't happen until at least 2026. Kareona Leverkusen gave a 3-year contract extension. Keeping him is certainly good, he has good development. This season Leverkusen also ended in 6th position. This means Leverkusen will remain in the Europa League next season.
Why are you saying it's impossible to happen until 2026? Xabi can leave from the club anytime as he wants. There's no need for madrid to wait for him while ancelotti was still there. Xabi agreed to extend his contract but he will never forget that if madrid has become his best club. Leverkusen can keep him this season, but Madrid may want him next year to replace Ancelotti. Xabi just need to focus on leverkusen now. Madrid may come with a new offer for him next year. It will be so difficult for xabi to reject madrid's offer once it will be real. Xabi is still having a dream to coaching real madrid. As long as xabi shows a good result in leverkusen in the upcoming season. The chance for madrid to sign him as a new coach is big.
