Xabi Alonso has long been viewed as a future manager of Real Madrid, particularly after his success with Bayer Leverkusen, where he guided the club to their first Bundesliga title last season. Although Carlo Ancelotti recently extended his contract with Madrid until 2026, rumors persist that Alonso could step in as his successor, with reports indicating a potential summer move to the Bernabéu.

While Ancelotti has achieved considerable success at Madrid and remains committed to his role, there has been no official confirmation regarding his departure. However, Alonso’s dynamic coaching approach and deep connection with Madrid, combined with his triumphs at Leverkusen, make him a compelling candidate for the job.

The Athletic reports that discussions between Alonso's representatives and Madrid have taken place. Ancelotti, aware of the speculation, may find his short-term future tied to winning major trophies like La Liga or the Champions League this season. While Alonso is seen as a strong successor, his move could face hurdles, especially if Ancelotti continues to deliver results.

As the situation unfolds, Alonso’s future at Madrid remains under close observation, with various agencies involved in mediating the talks. A clearer picture may emerge depending on Madrid’s performance in the coming months.
