Xabi Alonso Exit: Pedrerol Confirms Bayer Leverkusen Departure

This Sunday evening in La Liga, Real Madrid narrowly won against Alavés. Xabi Alonso could nevertheless still leave the Merengue ship.

Real Madrid narrowly escaped this Sunday evening on the Alavés pitch. Xabi Alonso’s players won the match with a score of 2 goals to 1. But once again, the collective performance of the Madrid team left something to be desired. Moreover, many rumors are circulating around the situation of the former Bayer Leverkusen coach. For some, Xabi Alonso’s days at Real Madrid are now numbered and a replacement could soon take place. Josep Pedrerol will certainly not say the opposite.

Xabi Alonso sentenced?

During an appearance on the set of The Chiringuitothe star presenter indeed gave his information in the Alonso file. And it has the merit of being clear: “There is a designated successor. Real Madrid has one. Real Madrid have just won, and of course we have to analyze how things will develop in the coming days. Something will happen, but there is a successor. Obviously. Real Madrid already have someone in place; it’s not Zidane; this man is at the club, and the club knows him.

The team is sick, it is reaching its limits, and that worries Real Madrid. The only question is: when will a decision be made, or will Alonso manage to turn things around? (…) Because if he continues to play like that, Xabi Alonso will not stay. (…) Xabi Alonso’s methods satisfy no one, and in some cases, there is no chemistry between him and certain players.

Xabi Alonso will still have a few outings ahead of him before the end of 2025. There will notably be a Copa del Rey match against Talavera Club de Fútbol and a La Liga match against Sevilla FC. No more room for error for the Spanish coach if he wants to hope for a miracle in the capital.
