Real Madrid gives priority to a step to have Xabi Alonso in place as their new head coach at the beginning of June.
Los Blancos is already in conversation with the representatives of the Basque coach about the leadership in Madrid while Carlo Ancelotti closer to an output edge.
Ancelotti is expected to resign after the last match of Real Madrid of the 2024/25 season against Real Sociedad on 25 May.
The Bundesliga campaign of Bayer Leverkusen closes on 17 May with the current side of Alonso to go to second place behind Bayern Munich.
However, it will require a quick change to close a deal before Real Madrid leaves for the FIFA Club World Cup.
Los Blancos starts their campaign against Al Hilal on June 18, but they will leave Madrid at least a week earlier for a training camp before tournament in Florida.
According to reports from Relroo, Real Madrid works frantically behind the scenes to secure Alonso, but he will not be hurried in a decision and Leverkusen will not allow easy exit.
This means that Real Madrid sets unforeseen plans to prepare for the possibility that Alonso does not make the journey through the Atlantic Ocean.
Santiago Solari is the most likely option to be set up on a temporary basis, to cover the gap before the arrival of Alonso, but Raul is also a possibility.
The iconic former striker was initially a candidate to constantly replace Ancelotti – based on his strong show at the club's reserve team – but that has passed.
He may be less willing to accept the offer than Solari, because he may continue for a first team job in the coming months, and his B team stands in line to miss a promotion -playoff place in the third level of Spain.
