The Merengue management is now trying to anticipate the separation with Carlo Ancelotti.
Real Madrid have contacted Bayer Leverkusen regarding the Xabi Alonso situation.
Carlo Ancelotti’s contract expires next June and Merengue president Florentino Perez has identified the young Basque technician as a priority replacement.
Pérez takes the lead
According to media outlet Okdiario, Real have contacted Bayer about their coach’s situation and the possibility that he will be allowed to leave this summer. The strong man of Casa Blanca wanted to warn Bayer of his plans now in order to maintain good relations.
Xabi recently signed a new contract until 2026, but at Leverkusen no one is fooled. Everyone expects the double European champion (2005 and 2014) to pack his bags to return to Madrid at the end of the current year.
Note that Xabi Alonso can leave the club next summer for three different destinations for a fixed amount. This is what the BILD media recently revealed. The three clubs in question are Liverpool, Bayern and Real Madrid. These are all formations where the person concerned had a stint as a player.
