Xabi Alonso, current coach of Bayer Leverkusen, seems to be getting closer to taking over the helm of Real Madrid. The Spaniard, who has proven to be one of the most promising coaches in Europe, is the leading candidate to succeed Carlo Ancelotti at the helm of the white team. Although Liverpool had also shown interest in hiring the former midfielder, the brilliant performance of Arne Slot at the English club seems to have tilted the balance in favor of the Madrid team.

Real Madrid, clear favorite to sign Xabi Alonso

Since taking charge of Bayer Leverkusen, Alonso has transformed the German team into one of the Bundesliga's revelations. His ability to blend attractive football with remarkable tactical solidity has caught the attention of the continent's top clubs. Under his guidance, Leverkusen has not only competed at the highest level but has also developed young talents who are now key players on the European stage. Last season, they were crowned champions of the German domestic competition and the DFB Pokal, narrowly missing out on lifting the Europa League trophy.

Real Madrid, seeking continuity in its sporting project, sees Alonso as the ideal profile to lead a new phase. As a former Real Madrid player, the Basque understands the demands of leading a club of such magnitude. His trajectory as a player, combined with his successful transition to the coaching role, makes him a candidate hard to match for the Chamartín entity.

In England, Liverpool's initial interest in Alonso seems to have cooled off due to Arne Slot's excellent work. The Dutch coach has managed to restore competitiveness at Anfield, reducing the chances of a managerial change. This scenario places Real Madrid in an excellent position to negotiate Alonso's arrival, who could usher in a new era from the white team's dugout.
