I also want him to stay in Leverkusen for another year because everyone sees his success this year as a coincidence. If he stays in the team next year and shows similar performance, he will show everyone that this is not a coincidence, but talent. Xabi was a great player and now he is a great coach. Leverkusen owes him a lot.
After hearing that he’ll be leaving the club by end of the season, I felt so disappointed because I wanted him to stay longer in the club and make the club more stronger to stand as a very big competitive opponent alongside Bayern Munich and Dortmund who have both been dominating the league than any other club. Xabi Alonso joining any team now will be a bonus to them because he’s going to improve the performance of such team and give them an edge over other teams playing in the same competition. Going to Bayern Munich is what will pain more because it wouldn’t make sense to face his own team that he built over the year by himself and okay against them as their big opponent in the league again.
