Xabi Alonso: Does the trainer stay or does he switch to Madrid?

Florian Wirtz is expected to stay at least one more season at Bayer Leverkusen. This was underpinned by the statements by managing director Fernando Carro, who expressed the wish to offer Wirtz a new contract. However, Carro rejected reports on an agreement that has already been made with the 21-year-old playmaker. The interest of clubs like Manchester City and Real Madrid also exists, but the club's intention to keep Wirtz until World Cup 2026.

The managing director emphasized that a contract extension would increase the likelihood that Wirtz would play longer in Leverkusen. It is important to mention that Wirtz’s future does not depend directly on the coach's decision, but a successful agreement with the player could still have an impact on the decisions of coach Xabi Alonso

rumors about coach Xabi Alonso

Xabi Alonso remains a sought -after trainer in Europe, with concrete rumors about possible changes to combine such as FC Bayern and FC Liverpool. However, Real Madrid seems to be the only realistic option for Alonso because the other two clubs have already found other coaches. Despite this speculation, Fernando Carro said that there are currently no signs of Alonso's departure. His contract runs until 2026 and he is actively involved in all the team's planning processes.

CARRO emphasized that the relationship between Alonso and the club was good and that the sporting situation in Leverkusen is stable, which is particularly attractive for Alonso. Alonso's decision will not only depend on the internal conditions of the association, but also on his family situation, since his family in Düsseldorf feels comfortable. Alonso's official statement about his future is expected in spring to ensure planning security at the club, such as Tribal Football reported.
