How much will Real Madrid pay if they fire Alonso?

Spanish media reports have confirmed that sacking Xabi Alonso from his position could cost Real Madrid up to 30 million euros, should they decide to terminate the Spanish coach's contract in the coming period. The Spanish newspaper El Debate explained that this amount is divided into two main parts; the first is the value of the penalty clause or compensation resulting from the termination of the contract before its due date, estimated at about 15 million euros. The second part relates to the amount that Real Madrid previously paid to Bayer Leverkusen, which also amounts to 15 million euros, in exchange for completing the signing of Xabi Alonso, bringing the total potential cost of the dismissal to a large financial figure. The source indicated that these figures reflect the magnitude of the economic complexities associated with decisions to change technical staff in major clubs, especially when it comes to coaches who are bound by huge contracts and expensive transfer deals, which makes such decisions subject to precise calculations that go beyond the purely sporting framework.
