Bayer Leverkusen will not stand in the way of Xabi Alonso if Real Madrid or one of his former clubs come calling for the Spanish manager this year.
Recent reports have suggested the former Liverpool midfielder is the clear frontrunner to replace Carlo Ancelotti in the Bernabeu hot seat should he leave as expected at the end of this season.
Alonso was linked with a number of Europe’s top jobs last summer after guiding Leverkusen to an unbeaten league campaign to claim their first ever Bundesliga crown, while also winning the DFB-Pokal and reaching the Europa League final.
The 2010 World Cup winner chose to stay put for another season rather than take charge of Barcelona, Bayern Munich or Liverpool, but his departure now appears inevitable.
Leverkusen set Xabi Alonso deadline for Real Madrid decision
Leverkusen CEO Fernando Carro has revealed that, while there is no exit clause in Alonso’s contract, there is a “gentlemen’s agreement” in place that will allow him to leave and join a club for which he has previously played.
“He has no exit clause, but we have a gentlemen’s agreement,” Carro told the media on Monday.
“If a team he has played for comes, we will sit down and talk about it and we will not put any obstacles in the way.”
Carro added: “We are clear that the decision has to be made in the next three or four weeks.”
