Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi coy on 'Real Madrid clause'

Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso is coy over his contract carrying a Real Madrid escape clause.

It's suggested his deal includes a break clause should Real, Bayern Munich or Liverpool make an attempt for him.

Xabi has been linked with a return to Real as coach Carlo Ancelotti's deal runs down.

It's suggested the Italian will move to Brazil where he has been offered the national team post.

"A clause? These are contractual issues. I feel very comfortable here now, I am very attached to this club," said Xabi.
