Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso confirmed on Friday he will leave the club at the end of the season, amid reports linking him to Spanish giants Real Madrid.

'The right moment': Alonso confirms Leverkusen exit amid Real links

Alonso said it was “the right moment” to announce the exit, but did not confirm his next post, saying it was “not the right moment to talk too much about the future”.

Spanish and German media reported on Friday the 43-year-old has already agreed to join Real and will link up with the Spanish giants after the Club World Cup, replacing Carlo Ancelotti, with a compensation payment of around €12 million (US$13.5 million) to be paid to Leverkusen.

Taking over in October 2022, Alonso guided Leverkusen to an unbeaten league and cup double in 2023-24, the first Bundesliga title in the club’s history.
