Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti remains uncertain over the club’s ongoing plans for him beyond the end of June.
Ancelotti’s current contract in Madrid runs until the end of the 2025/26 campaign but their UEFA Champions League could see him dismissed this month.
Club president Florentino Perez will assess his options in the coming weeks before a crunch meeting with Ancelotti.
Two key battles with Barcelona, including a Copa del Rey final, could mean he opts for consistency on the Los Blancos bench, but Alonso is waiting in the wings.
The Italian has consistently stated his future will be decided by the club as exit rumours roll on.
Alonso is Perez’s No.1 pick to replace Ancelotti with former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp distancing himself from the job,
Alonso’s current contract at Bayer Leverkusen mirrors Ancelotti’s in Madrid with the former midfielder also ending his link at BayArena in 2026.
With Leverkusen’s Bundesliga title defence continuing to falter, there are renewed rumours Alonso may cut ties, to avoid missing his chance in Madrid.
Alonso is unlikely to move before the end of the Bundesliga season – and Real Madrid will have to pay a fee to break his contract in Leverkusen – with club CEO Fernando Carro recently admitting the Arsenal wins over Real Madrid are making him nervous.
As part of a fast evolving story, Alonso seems to be making moves, with his chief advisor Inaki Ibanez resuming contact with Real Madrid, as per Sky Sports – via Diario AS.
These are only initial talks with no formal communication from Real Madrid to Leverkusen to indicate they will make an offer to buy him out of his contract in June.
Leverkusen are confident of resisting the pressure with the possibility of Alonso moving to Madrid in 2026 still open to allow the 43-year-old to keep his promise to his present employers.

This is part of the arrogance and intolerance of Real Madrid, from top to bottom, that I hate. The players even exhibited this arrogance on the pitch in their match against Arsenal but they were humbled. So because Real Madrid lost, or didn't "come back" in the game against Arsenal, Carlo Ancelloti, has to be sacked? UEFA Champions League title does not belong solely to Real Madrid. Barcelona, Man City, PSG, Inter Milan, are better teams than Real Madrid, in character and in football.
wild coming from Barkinglona fan.. Didn't that poor club sack like 4 manager recently 🤣🤣🤣

Xabi Alonso would perform better with all the financial resources around in Real Madrid..As a legend before for the club let them sign him. just as they did in Zidane case...and besides he's still much younger and might be a long term winning project plan.In the era of Bale, Benzema,Cristiano cr7 BBC with a young mindset coach Jose, then. With the set of players he would have Mbappe and the rest. they might just be on winning streaks on a long run and creating and making names for themselves and with the club...
People always talk bullish like this thinking only money, a manager and top players will do the job… look at amarin at Man U look at ten jag at Man U we all thought it would be great .. you need team chemistry.. look at Madrid with the best players in the world not even they can do it

Someone that has like 6 different managers in past 4yrs saying rubbish, dont believe everything u see in the internet pls. The standard are very high at real madrid, it us included in their contract that any manager who failed to win any if the 3 major trophies they participate will be relieve of duty.

We need technically good players upfront and solid players at the back. Alonso will provide that balance.

Why is nobody recommending Manuel Pellegrini. We were only second to Pep Barcelona with Messi, Iniesta, and Xavi in their prime when he coached us then, and we didn't have CR7, Modric, Kroos, etc
