After Real's collapse at Arsenal in the first-leg of their Champions League quarterfinal, Carlo Ancelotti's position is again under intense scrutiny.
And Gonzalez is reporting the decision to axe the Real coach has already been made.
He said on Cadena Cope: "Before the match, around noon, someone well-informed told me that we shouldn't look any further, that Xabi Alonso is already signed.
"I don't know anything about it, but there are people who say it's signed..."
Xabi's deal with Bayer runs to 2026.
