In the midst of no shortage of speculation about the future of Carlo Ancelotti in Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso is generally expected to be his replacement this summer. Los Blancos is reportedly not yet a decision about the future of the Italian manager, but many believe it is a foregone conclusion.
Ancelottis's hope to hang on his work seems to be almost completely dependent on delivering a League and Copa del Rey Double in the last six weeks of the season if he wants to see the last year of his contract. The Italian recently changed his number to his future and noted that decisions would be made at the end of the season, after he had previously claimed that he had the club's support.
Now, according to Diario AS, Bayer Leverkusen has confirmed CEO Fernando Carro that Alonso has a pact with the club, allowing him to leave for one of the four clubs for which he previously played: Real Sociedad, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Carro continued with the detail that Leverkusen Alonso has given three to four weeks to decide his future defensive.
