Speculation Grows Over Xabi Alonso's Future at Leverkusen

Reports suggest Alonso may leave Bayer Leverkusen to potentially succeed Ancelotti at Real Madrid.

Spanish media have reignited rumors of Xabi Alonso's possible departure from Bayer Leverkusen after this season.
Alonso is speculated to be a candidate to replace Carlo Ancelotti as Real Madrid's head coach.
Bayer Leverkusen has not confirmed these reports and maintains that Alonso is contracted until 2026.
Alonso led Leverkusen to their first-ever Bundesliga title and a DFB-Pokal victory last season.
Despite last season's success, Leverkusen is currently trailing nine points behind FC Bayern Munich in the league.
