Leverkusen chases CESC Fàbregas: Is the next coach hammer?

Leverkusen, Deutschland - Bayer 04 Leverkusen is looking for a successor for coach Xabi Alonso, who will switch to Real Madrid in the near future. Alonso has already said goodbye to the Leverkusen fans on Instagram and reflected on his time in Leverkusen with emotional words and impressive pictures. In his post he wrote: "Lived it. Loved it. Forever Bayer 04 Leverkusen." These words underline the big gap he leaves in the team.

The desired candidate of the Leverkusen bosses, Simon Rolfes and Fernando Carro, is CESC Fàbregas, who currently has the coaching position at Como 1907. Rolfes and Carro keep daily contact with Fàbregas as well as his consultant and those responsible for Como. The 38-year-old Spaniard is one of the most interesting coaches in Europe and convinced the Leverkusen bosses with his charisma and his style of play. It is trusted to continue the legacy of Alonso.

challenges in Como

Negotiations with Como 1907 are difficult. The owners of the club, Michael and Robert Hartono, have spoken a veto against a possible change from Fàbregas. Despite these challenges, Leverkusen remains optimistic of being able to complete the deal in the coming days. The deadline for a decision was extended by the end of May to give the negotiations more time.

fàbregas indicated at a press conference that he would like to leave an inheritance and has confirmed to be in contact with other clubs, including RB Leipzig. He would like to clarify whether the club management in Como matches his ideas. So far, however, Fàbregas has never indicated a cancellation and is considered a candidate for the consensus for the successor in Leverkusen.

Change and restructuring

The Leverkusen sports tour is also confronted with the upcoming departures of players such as defense chief Jonathan Tah and Jeremie Frimpong. Florian Wirtz could also leave the club, which could potentially bring in Leverkusen over 200 million euros. These factors could influence the coaching search and increase urgency to make a quick decision.

In addition to CESC Fàbregas, other potential successors for Alonso are also traded, including Erik Ten Hag, Xavi and Sandro Wagner, whereby the discussions with TEN HAG continues to continue. Rolfes emphasized that no candidate has so far canceled what the negotiations continues to be exciting.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen hopes to complete the coaching search in the final phase until the end of the month and thus initiate a new era with a suitable successor for Xabi Alonso. You can find out more about the developments and the coaching discussions at oe24 , Sport image and Transfermarkt .
