With Carlo Ancelotti set to bid goodbye from Real Madrid at the end of the La Liga season, the Spanish giant have lined up his replacement in the form of Xabi Alonso.
Indeed, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that the 43-year-old tactician will be joining Real Madrid soon for a three years contract.
Alonso announced last weekend that he will be leaving Bayer Leverkusen and bid an emotional goodbye to the Bundesliga club fans after their last home game of the season.
Now, it has been confirmed that the former Spanish midfielder has signed for Real Madrid, penning a three-year contract with the Merengues until 2028.
The update from Romano further stated that all details of the deal, including his staff members, have been sorted and the manager has signed a three-year contract.
In fact, the plan is for Alonso to start working soon, in time for the FIFA Club World Cup starting next month.
Leverkusen play their final game of the season this Saturday, May 17, while Real Madrid’s last league game of the campaign will take place on May 25, following which Alonso will be expected to take over the reins.
