Do You Want Xabi Alonso as Coach? Here's the Price
Currently, Xabi Alonso is one of the best coaches in the world, and any team that wants to take him away will have to negotiate strongly with Bayer Leverkusen.
The German team is currently more dominant than ever in the Bundesliga, holding a solid 10-point lead over their closest pursuer, Bayern Munich. That's why top teams have turned their attention to them, especially noting the performance of their coach, the Spaniard Xabi Alonso.
Alonso is on the verge of achieving a historic feat that seemed impossible at the beginning of the season—securing Bayer Leverkusen's first Bundesliga title. This has attracted the interest of high-profile teams like
Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, and even Liverpool.
However, Xavi Alonso's departure from the German team doesn't seem straightforward. He has a contract until 2026, and any team interested in him will have to negotiate and shell out a hefty amount of just over $25 million, at a minimum.
The amount set by Leverkusen is final. If you want the coach, you'll have to pay what he's worth, and rightfully so. Currently, we could say that "The 11 from the Company" is one of the best teams in the world thanks to the system developed by Alonso.
On the other hand, in previous days, the Spaniard stated that it's not correct to talk about the future because he is fully focused on succeeding as Bayer Leverkusen's coach: "Now I am (Bayer Leverkusen's coach), that's for sure. And about the future, there's nothing new to say. We'll see. It's not the right time for me to talk too much about it," he affirmed.
