Xabi Alonso’s secret condition for Real Madrid, Bayern and Liverpool

Xabi Alonso’s impeccable work at the helm of Bayer Leverkusen, who are unbeaten this season and are the sole leaders of the Bundesliga, continues to spark rumors about the former Spain international’s future. The Tolosara coach has been rumored for some time as a potential successor to Carlo Ancelotti starting next season, at which point the Italian’s contract at the Santiago Bernabeu expires.This is gaining more strength than ever before due to a detail in Xavi’s agreement with the Rhine team.

As revealed by the German newspaper Sport Bild, Leverkusen and the coach agreed on a contract termination clause that is valid only for three previous clubs in Tolosara during his active period. These are Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Liverpool, who, despite Xavi’s contract until 2026, can assume the coach’s services starting next summer, when the aforementioned clause comes into effect. The amount agreed upon is unknown.

Ottmar Hitzfeld, a former coach and two-time Champions League winner with Dortmund and Bayern, believes he should be more patient. It is difficult to say no to Real Madrid if there is already an offer, but my advice to Xavi is: stay at Leverkusen until 2025. I think he should give the club the opportunity to work as first coach in the Bundesliga. He is still young and can gain a lot of experience here and leave something big behind him. Hitzfeld stressed, “This is why I advise you not to leave after this season, but rather to stay for at least another year.”

Xavi himself had evaded questions about his future two weeks ago. “It’s very soon. It’s September, so it’s not a matter of discussion. I’m still focused. We started the season well and I have to be the first to stay focused.”He declared, realizing that the sirens’ songs would not stop.
