Awaiting confirmation, Spanish sources established today a connection between Xabi Alonso and Bayern coach Pep Guardiola, which would end in a transfer to Munich. Alonso, who announced via Twitter his retirement from the Spanish National Team, would be joining the German champion for 10 million euros.
According to their coach, it appeared Bayern Munich had closed the transfer book for this summer after signing defender Mehdi Benatia. Weeks ago, Guardiola recognized his team was short on men, after Javi Martinez's injury, which will keep him off the pitch for a long time, and several injuries to Bastian Schweinsteiger, among others.
But, what do Real Madrid fans think about this? Twitter erupted with the news! Scroll down to read some of them.

Un Sr. como Xabi Alonso, después de todo lo que le ha dado al Madrid, tiene libertad absoluta para decidir su futuro, pero #AlonsoNoTeVayas.

Tanto si @XabiAlonso se va este año como si cumple su contrato contrato debería retirarse su dorsal. Mítica su carrera en Lisboa. Grande
