Bayer Leverkusen CEO offers clarity on Xabi Alonso’s release clause rumours at the German club
After two astonishing years in the Bundesliga - including an unprecedented, undefeated title-winning campaign - Alonso's suspected exit will have three of Europe's biggest clubs on red alert.
Ancelotti's contract with Madrid expires in June 2026, but Los Blancos president Florentino Perez has constantly shown a willingness to aggressively pursue players and managers.
Although City's ideal plan is for Guardiola to stay, Alonso is believed to be high on the club's shortlist of potential replacements.Alonso could have already been a Premier League manager had another one of his former clubs, Liverpool, convinced him to become Jurgen Klopp's successor.Quizzed on why he turned down Liverpool, Alonso claimed there 'were many reasons'."There were many reasons and so many players.
The World Cup winner quickly dragged the club away from danger and led Leverkusen to an impressive sixth-place finish in his maiden campaign, which was enough to secure a Europa League spot.
