Xabi Alonso set to reject Liverpool and Bayern Munich to keep Real Madrid move – report

Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen side have been relentless this season. After 33 games in all competitions, they are still unbeaten, and are currently 11 points ahead of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga standings (having played one more game).

Understandably, Alonso's services are in demand on the back of this. Liverpool and Bayern, two of his clubs from his playing days, will be looking for new managers at the end of the season, and the Spaniard has been at the top of their respective lists.

However, according to a report from Football news, Alonso is willing to reject both clubs to keep his dream move, which is Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti is under contract until 2026, so the Basque coach may decide to stay at Leverkusen until this time before moving to the Spanish capital.

It is stated in the report that Real Madrid sees Alonso as his preferred candidate to succeed Ancelotti, although it could be more than two years. Therefore, it remains to be seen if it turns into a certain reality.
