Xabi Alonso Already Has an Offer to Return to the Bundesliga After Leaving Real Madrid
His time at the Bernabéu ended sooner than expected, but the phone never stopped ringing. Germany appears first… and it’s not the destination many imagined.
Germany Returns to the Picture for Xabi Alonso
While Real Madrid remain focused on the LaLiga title race, Xabi Alonso’s future is beginning to take shape away from the Santiago Bernabéu. According to reports from German outlets such as BILD, the Basque coach is unlikely to remain out of elite football for long.
The name gaining the most traction is Eintracht Frankfurt, a Bundesliga club that is already seriously considering making a formal offer. In Germany, there is a strong belief that Alonso will not stay without a team for long and that his profile fits a project built on stability, growth, and European ambition.
Frankfurt, a Project That Appeals
Eintracht Frankfurt are going through an inconsistent season. They currently sit seventh in the Bundesliga and outside the top positions in the Champions League, but they remain a club with recent European pedigree, highlighted by their Europa League 2022 title, won in Seville.
The club’s philosophy—focused on developing young talent and building medium-term projects—aligns perfectly with Xabi Alonso’s profile. He already left a strong mark in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen, and not by coincidence: he was the only coach to dethrone Bayern Munich over a full 34-match league season in the last 13 years.
His Time in Madrid Doesn’t Erase His Credibility
Alonso’s stint at Real Madrid was brief and complex. He arrived with institutional backing and high expectations following the departure of Carlo Ancelotti, but poor results and a lack of harmony with the dressing room ultimately accelerated his exit.
Even so, his reputation outside Madrid remains intact. In Germany, his tactical ideas, leadership, and ability to compete against giants are highly valued, keeping him firmly among the most attractive young managers on the market.
Liverpool Watch… But Don’t Act
Although Liverpool continue to be mentioned in England—especially amid the pressure surrounding Arne Slot—there have been no concrete moves from Anfield so far. In that context, Frankfurt stand out as a real and immediate option, while Alonso weighs whether to accept a project now or wait for the market to shift at the end of the season.
Meanwhile, the Bernabéu Remains Tense
At the same time, Real Madrid are living through turbulent days. The whistles at the Bernabéu after the match against Levante were directed at stars such as Vinícius, Federico Valverde, and Jude Bellingham, exposing a growing rift between the fans and the team.
From within the club’s environment, a blunt message leaked, as reported by Cadena COPE:
“If you only applaud in glory but disappear in defeat, you were never one of us.”
While Madrid look to rebuild their present, Xabi Alonso is already looking ahead. And Germany, once again, is waiting with the door slightly open.
