Spaniard Prepared to Join Real Madrid Over Liverpool

Xabi Alonso Emerges as a Target for Real Madrid and Liverpool

Real Madrid and Liverpool, two clubs with a history of memorable encounters, including UEFA Champions League finals, now find themselves competing for the signature of the same manager: Xabi Alonso.

Carlo Ancelotti, currently at the helm of Real Madrid for the second time, has earned recognition for his successful stint, despite facing challenges such as a thin squad and relative inexperience among his players. However, Ancelotti’s contract is set to conclude at the end of the season, and he is rumored to be considering a move to coach the Brazil national team.

This impending change in leadership positions Real Madrid in the market for a new manager, and Xabi Alonso has emerged as a prime candidate. According to reports from Defensa Central (via The Hard Tackle), both Liverpool and Real Madrid have expressed interest in Alonso, but the Spaniard appears inclined to join Los Blancos.

Xabi Alonso’s potential arrival at Real Madrid is met with enthusiasm, despite his relatively limited managerial experience. He took over at Bayer Leverkusen midway through the previous season when the club was battling relegation. Under his guidance, Leverkusen not only avoided relegation but finished a commendable sixth in the league.

In the current season, Leverkusen has continued to make progress under Alonso’s leadership and currently tops the Bundesliga table.

Alonso’s impressive managerial journey has caught the attention of some of Europe’s leading clubs, making him a sought-after figure. As the speculation surrounding his next destination intensifies, football fans eagerly await his final decision, which could have a significant impact on the future of Real Madrid or Liverpool.
