Leader of the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen, Xabi Alonso is a noted and remarkable coach. With these attractive results, the 41-year-old Spanish technician logically arouses much desire. With this in mind, several media outlets have recently mentioned an interest from Real Madrid, particularly in the event of the departure of Carlo Ancelotti. Moreover, Bild recently revealed that the former Merengues player, under contract until June 2026, had a secret clause. The latter would, in fact, allow him to join three destinations next summer: Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Liverpool. Yes but here it is, in an interview given to TalkSPORTFernando Carro, CEO of Leverkusen, denied the existence of such a clause.
“Xabi Alonso’s special clause? No, you don’t need to have a clause. We have a very, very good relationship with Xabi and he knows we are a serious club. At the end of the day, we’re not going to force someone to stay if they don’t want to stay. We want him to feel so happy and so good with us that he really wants to stay and that’s our goal. There is nothing on paper, but sometimes agreements that are not on paper are also agreements. We know that if you need to do anything in the future, we can talk. I hope we don’t have to do that because he will stay and be happy in Leverkusen.”. That’s what it says!
