Nothing's decided yet for Xabi Alonso! When coveted Bayer Leverkusen boss will make call on his future amid exit talk- revealed

<p>Alonso has been a revelation in German football since taking charge of Bayer Leverkusen. In the 2023-24 season, he guided the club to a remarkable Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double, ending Bayern Munich's dominance in German football. This historic achievement brought widespread attention to the former Real Madrid and Liverpool midfielder, positioning him as a top managerial prospect for Europe's elite clubs. With Carlo Ancelotti struggling to find the right balance at the Santiago Bernabeu, there have been <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/xabi-alonso-set-to-leave-bayer-leverkusen-end-season-real-madrid-bayern-munich-potential-destinations-liverpool-legend/blt30440b157efe9a5e" target="_blank">speculations that Alonso might replace the Italian</a> in the Spanish capital next summer.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>However, according to <a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2024/11/19/xabi-alonso-decidira-futuro-marzo.html" target="_blank"><em>Marca</em></a><em>, </em>no immediate decisions have been made and the timeframe for evaluating Alonso's future is set for March 2024. This timeline allows Leverkusen and Alonso to assess their respective plans thoroughly, with sufficient time to prepare for any transitions. Until then, the focus remains on the present.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Leverkusen’s management, led by Spaniard Fernando Carro, will continue planning the team’s future regardless of Alonso’s eventual decision. The futures of standout players like Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong are not directly tied to Alonso’s status, with the club expected to determine transfer prices for their stars independently.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>After their extraordinary success last season, Leverkusen have faced a tougher start to the 2024-25 campaign. They currently sit fourth in the Bundesliga table, trailing leaders Bayern Munich by nine points after just ten games. Their next Bundesliga fixture is a home match against Heidenheim on November 23, followed by a crucial Champions League clash with Red Bull Salzburg three days later.</p>
