Xabi Alonso arrived to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bayer-leverkusen">Bayer Leverkusen</a> last October when the club got into the relegation zone at the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bundesliga">Bundesliga</a>. It was a critical moment for the team, but they took a major risk signing a coach with almost no experience.



The results have been incredible. Bayer Leverkusen are currently on 7th place in the standings and, in the Europa League, Alonso led them to the semifinals. If they win that tournament, Leverkusen could clinch a ticket for the Champions League. That would be remarkable.

As a consequence, Xabi Alonso has become a top name in the market. That’s why, in recent weeks, the Spanish coach sounds strongly for big clubs such as <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/real-madrid">Real Madrid</a> or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tottenham">Tottenham</a>. Bayer Leverkusen have an answer to that.



<h2>Will Xabi Alonso sign for Real Madrid or Spurs?</h2>



Fernando Carro, CEO of Bayer Leverkusen, spoke about the chances of Xabi Alonso leaving the club towards next season. Considering his spectacular results, top teams in Europe are knocking on the door. This was Carro’s message in an interview with Diario AS.







“He has a contract with us until 2024. He’s happy here and we are happy with him. We are enjoying working together and I’m sure we will be with him next season. I hope a lot more years, but in soccer you cannot look that far into the future.”

Though Bayer Leverkusen believe Xabi Alonso will stay, a massive offer could change plans. If Carlo Ancelotti indeed leaves Real Madrid, Alonso is seen as the perfect heir. Of course, the other option looking for the former player is Tottenham. With Julian Nagelsmann out of the race for Spurs, anything could happen in the next weeks.

A club like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/Real-Madrid-to-part-with-two-expensive-stars-to-make-room-for-Jude-Bellingham--report-20230124-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a> never sleeps. We might be talking about the reigning <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/champions-league-winners-list-by-year-20220526-0035.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA Champions League</a> and LaLiga champions, but the Merengues are constantly thinking about the future and that means they’re always prepared for what’s next.

However, that doesn’t mean the board is not tracking potential managers for the future.
Carletto is under contract through 2024, and while many would expect him to continue beyond that date, the club is reportedly keeping an eye on other managers in case the Italian coach doesn’t stay.
<h2>Former Real Madrid player reportedly on the Merengues’ radar</h2>
According to Alejandro Alcazar of Sport, Real Madrid are monitoring the progress of Xabi Alonso as head coach. The former Spain international, who played for La Casablanca between 2009 and 2015, is currently at the helm of Bayer Leverkusen.
Alonso, a 3x World Cup veteran (winner of the 2010 tournament), had a decorated playing career, featuring for the likes of Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich. He started his coaching career at La Fabrica (Real Madrid’s academy) before taking over at Real Sociedad B.
After promoting the Spanish team to the second division, Alonso took charge of Leverkusen halfway through the 2022-23 season and quickly turned their fortunes around. The Spaniard took Bayer from the deeper zone of the Bundesliga table to the top spots, with a 5-1-2 record in 8 games.
Real Madrid are not expected to make a managerial change in the foreseeable, but the front office still makes sure to be a step ahead and study the best alternatives if needed. Alonso is just getting started, but his impressive start is already being noticed.
