Bola.net – The 2023/2024 season is still several weeks away, but Real Madrid’s plans for the end of the season have been revealed. Madrid plans to appoint Xabi Alonso as the next manager.
Xabi is currently still the manager of Bayer Leverkusen. He was appointed manager in October 2022 and his contract is valid until 2026.
However, many reports believe that Xabi will soon part ways with the German League club. His services are being sought by a number of big clubs.
Madrid is said to be the most interested in welcoming him back to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer of 2024.

Replace Ancelotti
According to reports Brand, Madrid appointed Xabi as their next manager. The 41 year old man will replace Carlo Ancelotti.
Incidentally, Ancelotti’s contract at Madrid will expire at the end of the 2023/2024 season. So far Madrid has never planned to give him a new contract.
So the moment is right. Ancelotti left on good terms because his contract was complete, then Madrid calmly approached Xabi to recruit him.

Leverkusen want to leave?
The problem may be at Leverkusen. As mentioned at the beginning, Xabi’s contract at Leverkusen is still very long.
So there is no urgency at all to immediately release him in the summer of 2023, regardless of whatever results the team might obtain.
However, this situation could change if Madrid is willing to pay a transfer fee to Leverkusen. There is no information yet about how much Madrid will have to pay if they want to redeem Xabi.

The two clubs in question are Liverpool and Bayern Munich. Compared to Madrid, these two clubs have no urgency at all to immediately part ways with their current managers.
