The Leverkusen city council is examining the requirements to officially name a street, a square, or a road after Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso.
Alonso led Leverkusen to a historic maiden Bundesliga title and they were crowned champions after a 5-0 win over Werder Bremen on Sunday.
Ahead of the match, fans placed “Xabi-Alonso-Allee” (Xabi Alonso Avenue) stickers on street signs and the city is now looking into ways of making it official.
Alonso, sporting director Simon Rolfes, and CEO Fernando Carro are also to become honorary citizens of the city, a statement said on Monday.
Leverkusen will receive the Bundesliga trophy only on the final matchday of the season on 18 May and the official title party is expected to take place at the Bay Arena on 26 May, a day after the German Cup final.
Leverkusen are favorites to win the Cup final against Kaiserslautern.
A treble-winning season is possible, as they took an important step towards the Europa League semi-finals with a 2-0 win in the first leg of their quarter-finals clash against West Ham.
Leverkusen are unbeaten in all their 43 season matches and a record 29 in the Bundesliga in 2023-24.
