Bayer Leverkusen threatens the loss of numerous top performers this summer. With Florian Wirtz there is an axis of the runner -up immediately before the Liverpool FC. With Granit Xhaka, another support of the past few years could look for space.
Most recently, the Italian “Gazzetta Dello Sport” had already reported that negotiations between Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan are currently running through a transfer from Granit Xhaka. According to the report, there is optimism in Italy that a deal will come about.
According to “Sky”, talks between the parties involved will be due again in the coming days. Accordingly, there is a move to Milan for the Swiss “an interesting option”. According to the Pay TV station, there is still no agreement or a decision about the future of the midfield routiner.
Most recently, the online portal “Sportmediaset” had reported that the national player had already given the Miländer his promise. According to “Sky”, there can be no question of that. The negotiations are still in an early phase, it is said.
Bayer Leverkusen for exits “not forced”
However, the problem for the top Italian club could become that the Werkelf has no interest in letting the 32-year-old, who is still under contract on the Rhine until 2028. A statement by sports director Simon Rolfes also fits in conversation with the “Bild”.
“We are not forced to do this. We would only give someone if it makes sense for us-in order to then add the team accordingly,” said the ex-professional with a view to further departures. With Jeremie Frimpong and Jonathan Tah, the workself had to cope with two painful losses.
