Sunderland’s ambitious recruitment drive shows no signs of slowing down as they prepare for their comeback to the Premier League. With a flurry of new signings already in the bag, the Black Cats are now turning their attention to experienced midfielder Granit Xhaka.
Reports have emerged that Sunderland are engaged in discussions with Bayer Leverkusen regarding a potential £8.5 million deal for the Swiss international. Xhaka, who has been heralded as a “leader” by many in the football world, is a coveted asset for clubs like NEOM SC. However, Sunderland are determined to secure his services and have already presented him with a lucrative three-year contract offer.
Xhaka’s wealth of experience, gained from successful spells at both Arsenal and Leverkusen, could prove to be a game-changer for Sunderland as they aim to make a strong impression upon their return to the Premier League. With a proven track record of leadership and midfield excellence, Xhaka could provide the Black Cats with the stability and quality they need to compete at the highest level.
Having excelled in both the Bundesliga and the Premier League, Xhaka’s arrival at the Stadium of Light would not only bring a seasoned presence to the squad but also a winning mentality that could prove vital in their bid to avoid relegation. Sunderland fans will be eagerly anticipating the outcome of these negotiations, hoping that Xhaka’s leadership and skills will help propel their team to success in the upcoming season.
