Xabi Alonso has said he's "very calm" despite being linked to taking charge at Real Madrid, with speculation over the future of Carlo Ancelotti.

Xabi arrived early in the morning with the team on their bus. He led a training session on the Valdebebas pitch with nine outfield players and two goalkeepers, while the rest of the squad worked out in the gym. After the session, they headed to the airport for their 1:45 PM flight back to Germany.

Xabi Alonso has identified Bayer Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz as his top transfer target should he become the new Real Madrid manager.
