Bombshell! Xabi Alonso already has a new team: 'If he leaves Madrid he'll sign for...'

Xabi Alonso's future at Bernabéu isn't guaranteed, and possible destinations for the Tolosa native are already being mentioned

The figure of Xabi Alonso is starting to generate a lot of division of opinions among Real Madrid fans. Just a few months ago, everything was joy, excitement, and optimism about the new era of the Basque on the Bernabéu bench. The last stretch of Ancelotti was really tough, and Xabi's presence sparked hopes for a radical turnaround in the white project.

However, despite the promises with which he arrived at Real Madrid, the truth is that the egos of the superstars are overwhelming him. Now, Xabi Alonso is focused on trying to please the stars in the white locker room, a situation that is gradually turning against him. Vinícius Júnior doesn't understand his time on the bench, while Jude Bellingham and Fede Valverde seem unable to connect with his methods.

Pressure mounts for Xabi Alonso on the Real Madrid bench

In this scenario, the dismissal of the Madrid coach is sounding louder and louder in certain sectors of Madridism. Real Madrid's board is scrutinizing every setback and watching with concern as their margin for maneuver shrinks. Xabi Alonso knows this, and his inner circle is already managing his departure as a viable option before the wear and tear becomes irreversible.

From here, if he leaves Real Madrid, Xabi Alonso will surely start a new adventure in a very short time. What he did with Bayer Leverkusen in Germany is not forgotten: he brought the club a fresh, winning, and magnetic style. Meanwhile, in this sense, Liverpool could open the doors for a return to Anfield that many thought was impossible.

Xabi Alonso, delighted with the idea of Liverpool

At Anfield, Xabi Alonso could reunite with his old fans and with players he already worked with at Leverkusen, such as Florian Wirtz or Jeremie Frimpong. Liverpool's inner circle is watching the situation of their current coach, Arne Slot, with concern, whose continuity hangs by a thread after recent results. The English club is 36 ft. 1 in. (11 meters) behind Arsenal, the Premier League leader, so anything can happen.

In fact, the weekend defeat against Nottingham Forest has left Arne Slot in a very difficult position, and he may have to leave his post sooner than desired. If that happens and Xabi Alonso is already free, the Basque's future will, with total certainty, point to Liverpool. Meanwhile, that scenario is already being discussed in Premier League offices while Real Madrid tries to put out the internal fire.
