Xabi Alonso to announce future
A source close to the Spanish coach reveals that the former midfielder could announce his stay at Bayer Leverkusen at the press conference ahead of the home match against Bochum on Thursday
Xabi Alonso’s press conference ahead of Bayer Leverkusen’s home game against Bochum , scheduled for Thursday at 2:30 pm, could be marked by a topic unrelated to matchday 27 of the Bundesliga . According to the Spanish press, the 43-year-old coach could shed light on the remaining doubts regarding his future.
A source close to Xabi Alonso says that the Spanish coach could announce his stay at the club, with whom he has a contract until 2026. The Bayer board is even working on the possibility of offering the former Real Madrid , Bayern Munich and Liverpool midfielder a contract extension in the summer.
After strong pressure from the Bavarians and the Reds in the summer, Xabi Alonso decided to stay with the German champions. About a year later, it is the turn of the Merengues to have the former player under their eye to succeed Carlo Ancelotti, whose continuity in Madrid beyond the summer of 2026 is uncertain.
A possible announcement of a stay at Leverkusen before the end of the season could serve as extra motivation for Alonso ‘s charges who currently occupy second place in the Bundesliga , six points behind leaders Bayern . The Spanish coach has been in charge of the pharmacists since the beginning of October 2022.
