They admit that there is an agreement between Leverkusen and Alonso, which will allow him to leave if that is what he decides to do, but nothing more. On the side, it was noted that the Blancos did not move for a manager before the end of the season in their two most recent appointments.
The report in Germany is that those around Leverkusen believe he will leave the club next summer, while there is no doubt that Real Madrid like him as an option to take over the bench at some point. These rumors were spurred by the poor form of Real Madrid and the pressure on Carlo Ancelotti. If things do not improve, the Italian will likely be forced out at the end of the season.
