“Our bond is very strong, that is clear but my total focus is on Bayer Leverkusen now, that’s in my mind,” Alonso added.
Real Madrid are not in urgent need of a new manager as they have faith in Carlo Ancelotti.
Los Blancos may decide to keep faith in the Italian manager until 2026 when his contract ends. That’s exactly when Alonso’s contract at Bayer ends.
