Look Xabi, enjoy Leverkusen. Win the Bundesliga. Go to Madrid, win the UCL 3 times. Then in 2040, when Klopp finally leaves Liverpool, you can take over.

Plan.

Dibs on the time between 2027 and 2040

I believe that you guys planned a similar career path for Gerrard lol

Club specific clauses do not exist. If this clause exists, it's more just his general buyout that anyone can trigger. Not something that only works for Madrid.

Can someone who doesnt mind explain a) what his tactical style is and b) what makes him so successful at Leverkusen. I watched a couple of matches last season but can't say I know enough to understand why he's been so great.

If he wants to sign for big money and then to be sacked within first two seasons for an easy payout, then sure. Otherwise avoid RM as long as Perez is president. He should wait for Liverpool to come for him once Klopp is done with them.

He will get no transfers because Perez will chase Mbappe as always and in the end the team will be left without a striker. How are you supposed to compete when a team has clear weak spots?

nah him and kobel are reserved by bayern

[–] prettybunbun@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Apparently the clause also includes Bayern Munich and Liverpool. It was stated weeks ago he has a clause to allow him to leave to an old club of his.

It's so annoying. How can this league evolve into something bigger if every project with great potential gets ripped apart after one good season

[–] Proof-Puzzled@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Didnt Xabi had a special Clause for Liverpool Real Madrid and Bayern??

[–] Sidearms4raisins@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

As a villa fan I'm so grateful that Xabi is doing amazing at Leverkusen so that Madrid don't steal emery from us

Everybody talking about Xabi Alonso but not the architect of this team. If you're a big club in need of a sporting director, you should go after Simon Rolfes.

Xabi vs Xavi
