Granit Xhaka's future at Bayer Leverkusen is in the spotlight. |
Xhaka's contract runs until 2028, but according to Blick , negotiations have already begun on a possible move. The Swiss star was a key player in Leverkusen's unbeaten run in the Bundesliga in 2023/24, contributing greatly to the historic title with coach Xabi Alonso.
However, Alonso's departure to lead Real Madrid also seems to have had a significant impact on the Swiss star's decision.
According to Blick , Xhaka appreciates Alonso's role both professionally and personally. He sees Alonso's arrival at the Bernabeu as a positive step forward and a sign that big changes are coming. However, it is worth noting that Xhaka will not return to Basel - his hometown team, despite recent speculation.
Currently, the 32-year-old midfielder's next destination is unknown, but with his class and extensive experience in the Premier League, Bundesliga and Euro, Xhaka will certainly be an attractive name in the transfer market this summer.
If the deal happens, this will be a significant loss for Leverkusen, as they will not only lose their head coach but also risk parting ways with their midfield soul - the person who contributed to shaping the team's tactical identity last season.
Last week, Leverkusen also parted ways with full-back Jeremie Frimpong, who joined Liverpool. The Dutch star scored 5 goals and had 5 assists in the Bundesliga in the 2024/25 season.
