Xabi Alonso confirmed that he would leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
Former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder, 43, won the Bundesliga title with Leverkusen last season, undefeated and lost in the Europa League final from Atalanta.
Alons raced both of his former clubs, but he chose to stay, and Liverpool appointed Arne Slot instead, who took them to the Premier League title.

He is expected to replace Carl Ancelotti on Bernabeu this summer, and Leverkusen has reduced his existing contract, which was due to last until the summer of 2026.

“But now it’s not a day to talk about the future.”
Ancelotti is under the contract by the end of next season, but it is expected that he will leave after the campaign in which Madrid fought despite the addition of Kylian Mbappe.
