Ten Hag is angry

Leverkusen coach Erik ten Hag insists the club will not let Granit Xhaka leave, despite information from the player's agent.

Ten Hag does not want to lose another pillar at Leverkusen.

Speaking on July 22, Ten Hag emphasized: "Xhaka's agent can say anything, but this club has let three important players go and no one will leave the team anymore."

The Dutch coach also named Xhaka when emphasizing the importance of this midfielder in the squad: "Xhaka is a leader, and we really need him in the team."

According to Athletic , Xhaka has informed Leverkusen's board that he wants to join Sunderland this summer, even if he has to play in the Championship. Previously, the former Arsenal star also reached a personal agreement with Sunderland.

Daily Mail reported that Sunderland have officially submitted their first offer to Leverkusen to recruit Xhaka, the fee has not been disclosed. However, there is currently no agreement between the two clubs.

Leverkusen are also aware of Xhaka's desire to join Sunderland and negotiations are ongoing. Xhaka wants to leave Leverkusen following the departure of key players last season such as Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong and Jonathan Tah and manager Xabi Alonso.

On the other hand, Leverkusen has not brought in any famous faces.

On July 18, Ten Hag had a forgettable debut as Leverkusen lost 1-5 to Flamengo U20s, a match in which Xhaka also played.

PSG beat Bayern with 9 men. Early morning of July 6, PSG defeated Bayern 2-0 in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup.
