Alonso has informed Bayer Leverkusen that he will leave the club at the end of the season, and a contract has already been prepared and agreed upon. This confirms that Carlo Ancelotti will leave his position as Real Madrid manager after his successful tenure, which included 15 trophies, including three Champions League and two LaLiga titles.

Real Madrid are currently looking to strengthen their team ahead of the new season, with a focus on signing a left-back, a center-back, and a midfielder. Alonso may use his connections with his former team to secure cover for these positions during the summer transfer window.

Ancelotti's final LaLiga game with Real Madrid will be against Real Sociedad, and he is expected to say goodbye to the fans at the Bernabeu stadium, which will likely be followed by his appointment as the Brazil national team coach ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
