A surprise move from Germany: Xabi Alonso will remain at Bayer Leverkusen next season. The Spanish coach, absolute protagonist of the cavalcade of Aspirins this season (the team is still unbeaten in all competitions), he was now taken for granted as a starter in view of next summer, especially considering the interests of two clubs such as Bayern Munich and Liverpool, both on the hunt for a new coach.
Xabi Alonso, on the other hand, will remain in Leverkusen for at least another year. The announcement is anticipated by market expert Romano, as well as other sources from Germany. However, Xabi Alonso, whose contract will expire on 30 June 2026, will have the possibility of being “freed” from summer 2025: with the Spaniard from next summer the possibility of exercising the release clause will be activated for a sum of 23 million euros to be paid to Bayer Leverkusen.
A move therefore that surprises Bayern Munich and Liverpool above all, clubs that have already announced the departure of their current coaches and were strongly interested in Xabi Alonso. Interesting, with a view to next summer, as well as the real Madrid at that point he could go after Xabi Alonso. We’ll see. Meanwhile the Spaniard will lead Bayer Leverkusen again next season, where the Aspirins they will return to the Champions League. A move, the confirmation of Alonso, which should help the club to convince the star who definitively exploded this season: Florian Wirtz, to stay.
Alonso: the right place to continue growing
The coach then confirmed the decision in the press conference: “I have made the decision to continue being the manager of Bayer Leverkusen. I think this is the right place for me to continue growing as a coach“.
Luis Enrique: “Mbappé? We’re not a couple just because he doesn’t want to”
