Romano: Xabi Alonso Ready to Join Real Madrid Once Ancelotti’s Exit Is Finalized
According to top transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Xabi Alonso is ready to say yes to Real Madrid — but only once Carlo Ancelotti’s exit is officially settled.
Romano reports that Alonso is fully prepared to take over at the Santiago Bernabéu, with the final steps of the deal expected to move quickly once Ancelotti’s departure is confirmed.
In anticipation of Alonso’s move, Bayer Leverkusen are already accelerating their search for a new head coach. Sources say the German champions now expect their manager will leave this summer to begin a new chapter at his former club, where he previously shined as a midfield maestro.
