Real Madrid Faces €15-18 Million Release Clause for Xabi Alonso as Next Head Coach

Real Madrid is eyeing Xabi Alonso as their next head coach, and it could come at a price. According to reports from Suddeutsche Zeitung, the release clause in Alonso’s contract with Bayer Leverkusen is set between €15-18 million. Triggering this clause would pave the way for Alonso’s departure from the German club.

Alonso, currently making waves as Bayer Leverkusen’s manager, has emerged as Real Madrid’s first-choice candidate to succeed Carlo Ancelotti, who is anticipated to become the next manager of Brazil’s national team.

The 41-year-old has achieved remarkable success at Bayer Leverkusen this season, overseeing 16 wins and just one draw in all competitions. His impressive managerial stint has heightened Real Madrid’s interest in securing his services for the upcoming season.

Having previously played for Real Madrid from 2009 to 2014, Alonso brings a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the club’s ethos. While the release clause poses a financial consideration for Real Madrid, the potential benefits of having a proven and promising manager like Alonso at the helm make the investment compelling. The next summer transfer window could see Real Madrid making a strategic move to secure the services of a club legend as they navigate the path forward.
