On the verge of losing Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen is eyeing another LEGEND of Spanish football.

According to European outlets such as La Provincia, the German club has its sights set on Cesc Fábregas to take charge of the team.

Like Xabi, Fábregas has a victorious history as a player and boasts the 2010 World Cup title on his résumé.

Moreover, both Xabi Alonso and Cesc Fábregas have had short but successful careers as coaches.

Fábregas secured promotion to Serie A with Como 1907 last season.

And the team is having a solid campaign this season, sitting in 11th place, already safe from relegation and ahead of teams like Udinese and Parma.

Fábregas, however, has a contract with Como until 2028. Therefore, Leverkusen won’t have an easy time signing him.

While the board searches for a new manager, the team is hoping for a MIRACLE in the 2024/25 Bundesliga.

With three rounds to go, Leverkusen would need to win all three matches and hope Bayern Munich loses all three.

The next challenge will be against Freiburg, at 12:30 PM (Brasília time) on Sunday (4), away from home.

Bayern Munich will take the field earlier. The Bavarian Giant visits RB Leipzig at 10:30 AM on Saturday (3).
