Real Madrid has a clear next major target: Xabi Alonso. The recent elimination in the Champions League quarter-finals against Arsenal has sped up movements within the white club's board, which is already considering a change in the dugout for the upcoming season. The Bayer Leverkusen coach is the favored option, but the German club won't let go of the manager who led the team to a historical season so easily. In fact, figures have already been put on the table: to release Alonso, they demand between 15 and 20 million euros.

While Madrid analyzes the future project, Leverkusen accepts Real Madrid's interest with ease. It's no surprise that Xabi Alonso's name resonates strongly in the Spanish capital, especially after rumors hinting at new conversations between his circle and the white club. The coach's closest advisor, Iñaki Ibáñez, has resumed contacts with those from Chamartín in recent days.

Real Madrid Sets Sights on Xabi Alonso

Though Leverkusen is hopeful regarding the possibility of the Basque coach choosing to stay, they have already begun exploring the coach market to get ahead of a potential change. They don't feel betrayed or pressured, simply understanding that if Real Madrid calls, it's hard to say no.

In Valdebebas, Xabi Alonso's figure garners consensus. His knowledge of the club, tactical profile, and immediate impact in the Bundesliga position him as the ideal candidate to start a new chapter. Now, with the price set by Leverkusen, the next step depends on Florentino Pérez: deciding whether that cost is what they are willing to bear to bring back one of their most respected former players, this time to lead from the sidelines.
