Real Madrid have approached Bayer Leverkusen about Xabi Alonso's situation.

With Carlo Ancelotti's contract expiring in June, Real president Florentino Perez has identified Xabi as a priority replacement.

Okdiario says Real have approached Bayer about their coach's situation and the prospect of him being allowed to leave this summer.

Florentino wanted to alert Bayer to their plans in order to maintain good relations.

Xabi recently penned a new deal to 2026, but in Leverkusen there is an understanding they could lose the Spaniard at season's end.
