If he received a good offers from other team, why he need to take a risk to prove himself for two seasons lol. It's either Fernando Carro increase Xabi Alonso's salary and give him privileges or Xabi will move to other team.

There was an interview by DAZN, it looks like Carro doesn't look want to give a special treat to Xabi, so I believe he will join other team.

"We're happy that he's here, but Xabi Alonso is a puzzle piece. It's not like everything will fall apart when he's not here," Carro said in an interview with DAZN.

Oh, of course, if the statement is like that, I will support Xabi to leave at the end of this season to take up an offer from another club. I am quite surprised by this statement because it is clear that Leverkusen would not be this great in the Bundesliga if it were not under Xabi control. Overall it was thanks to the tactics Xabi implemented on the field. It is true that Xabi departure did not completely cause Leverkusen's performance to drop drastically, but at least I am sure that what was achieved this season with Xabi will not guarantee that it can be achieved again next season without Xabi at Leverkusen.

CEO Fernando Carro made a statement for Xabi to stay in the team and said that they wanted to keep him in the team. This success of Bayer Leverkusen is not a coincidence. The strong bond between the players and Xabi and Xabi's interventions in the game when necessary took the team to this level. Bayer Leverkusen can take important steps next year if Xabi decides to stay in the team. It will also be easier for them to keep important names such as Boniface and Grimaldo in the team.

In fact, many people here have said that whatever happens without the Leverkusen president defending him, it is likely that Xabi Alonso will stay at Leverkusen with the aim of winning a more prestigious title with Leverkusen.
Maybe this motivation occurred when Xabi saw the achievements of Pep Guardiola who always stayed at Manchester City and ended up achieving success and this can be done by Xabi when he can get a good start, the positive trend will definitely continue.
Changes in Leverkusen's improved performance can be seen since last season and this is the reason the Leverkusen president retained Xabi.
