Granit Xhaka’s potential move to Sunderland is currently shrouded in conflicting reports. While some sources suggest that the midfielder is keen on joining the Black Cats, Bayer Leverkusen remains adamant about not letting him go.
According to statements from Bayer’s sporting director Simon Rolfes, Xhaka is still under contract with the German club for another three years, making it a complex negotiation involving three parties. Manager Erik ten Hag reiterates that they cannot afford to lose another key player after already selling three important members of the squad.
On the other hand, journalist Florian Plettenberg claims that Xhaka has already agreed to terms with Sunderland for a contract until 2028. However, Leverkusen rejected the initial offer from Sunderland, demanding a fee exceeding €20m.
The uncertainty surrounding Xhaka’s potential transfer leaves fans wondering whether he will eventually make his way to Sunderland. With conflicting statements and negotiations ongoing, it remains to be seen how this saga will unfold. Nonetheless, it seems likely that Xhaka will soon be back in the Premier League.
