June 15 – 15:07 – MILAN

Change life at 32, why not? Granit Xhaka was hit by Milan’s attention and is definitely interested in a transfer to Italy. Igli Tare put him at the center of his new Milan project: Xhaka and Luka Modric, together with midfield and in the center of the locker room. The idea is that Milan need two leaders, two players capable of example in training and leading the team on the pitch in difficult times.

Granit and the Milan idea

Xhaka has played Arsenal from 2016 to 2023 and in the last two years at Bayer Leverkusen, where he has quickly become one of the reference players. He is available to a transfer to Milan and wait for the two clubs to speak. It has not yet happened, in the plans it will happen in the next few days. That’s why the week that is about to start is essential to understand how the Milan 2025-26 midfield will be. It is logical that you start a negotiation, with a couple of variables to consider.

the negotiation

Milan will have to understand how much to invest in a player who, unlike Modric, is still tied with a leverkusen contract. A long contract, which will expire in June 2028. His card will have a price, to be treated with the German club. After taking a player of almost 40 years, will Milan focus on another over 30, after years of investment under 25? This is the key question. The Leverkusen, on the other hand, will have to decide at what price to let one of its strongest players start, in the same summer in which he lost the coach (Xabi Alonso, who went to Real Madrid and replaced by Ten Hag) and fundamental players such as Tah (now at Bayern), Frimongg and especially Wirtz (Liverpool). In 48 hours, we will know more.
