Alonso Approaches Decision on Future with Bayer Leverkusen

Xabi Alonso, the head coach of Bayer Leverkusen, is preparing to finalize his future in the coming days after a remarkable year in which he led the team to an exceptional season.

According to Spanish newspaper "AS", the Spanish coach is expected to announce his final decision on Thursday during a highly anticipated press conference, with indications suggesting he will remain with Leverkusen until the summer of 2026, in line with his current contract.

Alonso's expected decision to stay will please Leverkusen's fans and officials, who are looking forward to his continuation after the historic successes he has achieved, including leading the team to win the Bundesliga title for the first time in its history, lifting the DFB-Pokal, and reaching the UEFA Europa League final.

On the other hand, Real Madrid continues to monitor the situation closely, especially given Alonso's name has been linked with the club in recent months as a potential successor to Carlo Ancelotti.
