Bayer Leverkusen Faces Change as Xabi Alonso Plans Exit
Xabi Alonso is set to leave Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the current season. Despite signing a contract extension that runs until 2026 and leading the team to significant success, including an unbeaten Bundesliga title, reports suggest that the club is preparing for his departure.
High-profile clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City are reportedly interested in him as a future managerial option, with City potentially eyeing him as a replacement for Pep Guardiola, whose contract is nearing its end.
Meanwhile, Leverkusen is already scouting for Alonso’s replacement, considering candidates like Stuttgart’s Sebastian Hoeneß and Germany assistant coach Sandro Wagner.
