Xabi Alonso once again did not provide a clear statement about his future, fueling rumors of his move to Real Madrid.

Xabi Alonso said indifferently in today’s press conference: “Now is not the right time to talk about the future. No decision has been made at this late stage of the season.”

Is this a sign of his commitment to Leverkusen after the summer? The Spanish coach once again fueled rumors about a move to Real Madrid, one of the biggest clubs in the world, with ambiguous comments.

Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s head coach, faces imminent departure after a heavy defeat in the Champions League against Arsenal, and reports suggest his exit date has been set.

Alonso, when asked again about his future in today’s press conference, said: “I don’t want to talk about rumors and speculation. Of course, I understand these things happen.”

Xabi Alonso also spoke about the upcoming match against St. Pauli in the German Cup, his team’s condition, and recent performances.

About the opponent, he said: “St. Pauli is a good team; they play quality football, and we expect a tough opponent on Sunday. They have a clear playing idea and rely heavily on teamwork. They play compact and intense football, which they have shown well against other teams.

We had a full week to train with all players. Only five Bundesliga matches remain, and our gap with Bayern hasn’t changed. Our excitement and motivation remain at the same level. Our focus is entirely on our game.”

Alonso also addressed his team’s poor performance in the recent match against Union Berlin and added: “Our game against Union wasn’t the team’s best performance. We analyzed it, and now our focus is on performing better against St. Pauli on Sunday.”

Alonso also confirmed that all his players are ready for the match: “All players are ready and available.”
