Carro emphasized that Alonso, who has led Leverkusen to a 10-point lead over Bayern in the Bundesliga, is a crucial part of their plans for the future.
Alonso, who has also guided Leverkusen to the semi-finals of the DFB Pokal and the Europa League quarter-final against West Ham, is highly sought after by both Liverpool and Bayern Munich.

However, Leverkusen remains confident that Alonso will stay with them, as they have received no indication of his departure.
According to Carro, Alonso is under contract until 2026, and the club is fully focused on planning for the next season with him at the helm.

Borja Iglesias, who joined Leverkusen on loan from Real Betis, also commended Alonso’s management skills, highlighting his ability to connect with players and transmit his ideas effectively. Iglesias expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to work with Alonso and praised his coach’s empathy and tactical acumen.
Alonso’s coaching prowess has not gone unnoticed by his players, with many describing him as a special manager with a unique approach to the game. As Leverkusen continues to excel under Alonso’s leadership, it is clear that he is highly valued by both the club and his players.
