After Jonathan Tah, Florian Wirtz and Jeremy Frimpong in Granit Xhaka, the captain of Bayer Leverkusen could also be on board this summer. Negotiations with AC Milan are said to have already been conducted according to media reports. But a departure does not seem to be in this way.
As the “kicker” reports, Granit Xhaka, contrary to other reports, is currently not faced with a farewell to Bayer Leverkusen. Because: More than the first exploratory talks of AC Milan have not been conducted in the past few weeks, it is said.
At the beginning of June, the journal itself reported on the interest of the Italians in the 32-year-old top player of the Bundesliga runner-up. The Swiss should be particularly popular with the new sports director Igli Tar.
The “Gazzetta Dello Sport” then reported that the Rossoneri is said to have transmitted a specific offer to Leverkusen. In the room there was a transfer of ten million euros for the midfield strategist. In order to convince the Bundesliga club, the Italian first division team is even willing to involve defenders Malick Thiaw into the transfer.
It was also reported on a possible three -year contract including the option for a fourth season in Milan. According to “Gazzetta Dello Sport”, Xhaka also waves a higher salary than in Leverkusen, where his working paper 2028 expires.
Milan apparently puts Xhaka-Deal Ad Acta
As the “kicker” now reports, the possible Xhaka deal has never turned towards the home stretch. The interest in the Bayer driver is now said to be “extremely cooled” – after Milan has asked the financial framework.
For Xhaka, the Serie-A-Club would have to invest a package of no less than 40 million euros from a transfer and salary-too much for the Milanese. According to the report, there are currently “no indicators” that Xhaka is going to turn her back on the Bundesliga club this summer.
