Bayer Leverkusen is in Poker around Froholdt – Xhaka avoids confessional

Competition for Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt apparently gets competition in advertising around midfielder Victor Froholdt. As “Sky” and the “Kicker” report, Bayer Leverkusen also strives for the 19-year-old from FC Copenhagen. As a transfer, there is a sum of more than 10 million euros. Tottenham Hotspur should also show interest in the Danish international.

With his box-to-box game type, Froholdt Leverkusen could add a new element than the previous candidates for the double six if he opted for a change to the runner-up. There the midfield is currently still densely occupied. But should a professional or several such as Granit Xhaka, Exequiel Palacios or Robert Andrich, for whom there have already been rumors and still exists, Froholdt could take their squad. Otherwise, a loan is also conceivable, writes the “kicker”.

The SGE is said to have previously had initial talks with the Copenhagen Youngster. Froholdt is said to be high up on the list of Hesse, after withdrawing from the poker around Jobe Bellingham. The Dane has been trained at Copenhagen since 2019, and so far it has been used for the professionals 61 times. His contract runs until 2028.

Xhaka avoids commitment to Bayer Leverkusen – interest from AC Milan?

In the meantime, despite a valid working paper, Xhaka avoided a commitment to the Werkself and justified this with the great upheaval in front of which the club with the departures of coach Xabi Alonso, Jeremie Frimpong, Jonathan Tah and the ongoing transfer by Florian Wirtz. “I already had a big change at Arsenal in 2019. (…) That costs a lot of energy. And I am not 25 anymore, but will be 33. And of course the players who go or went are a big loss,” said Xhaka before Switzerland’s international match.

Bayer 04 with sports manager Simon Rolfes and Boss Fernando Carro “Enough people who hopefully can bring the team back to this level. Whether with me or without me, is another question, but I am here today. We are happy and that is what matters,” says the defensive midfielder.

Xhaka came to Leverkusen from the Gunners in 2023 for 15 million euros. Since then, the leading player has played 99 games for the Rhinelander and was significantly involved in the first championship in the club’s history in 2024. To look at a new challenge again is quite interesting for the Swiss, as he explained: “I haven’t played everywhere. Of course you think about it. But as I said, my thoughts are far away. I have my family and my management, who take care of things. And when it is so far and you have an offer on the table, then you start thinking about it.”

According to the “kicker”, the AC Milan is said to have thrown an eye on the veteran. So far, however, the interest is still loose. And even with Milan, who did not qualify European, Xhaka would be part of a upheaval. With Massimiliano Allegri, the Rossoneri have a new coach and with Igli Tare a new sports director. Her first new addition could become real icon Luka Modrić, who dresses a similar position as Xhaka. It is therefore questionable whether in the event of a signature of the Croat a second experienced man should be brought in for the midfield. Together the duo would come to 71 years.
