Arsenal turn down Leverkusen’s offer for Granit Xhaka

Everything open for Xhaka and Arsenal – No deal with Leverkusen!’

Although reports from abroad suggest that Granit Xhaka is preparing to leave Arsenal after seven years, a report from the the Greek football publication England365 indicates that the future of the Swiss midfielder at the Gunners is still uncertain.

Earlier, it was stated that Granit Xhaka is in his final days at Arsenal and North London, as the club has reached an agreement with Bayern Leverkusen. Xhaka has made it clear to Mikel Arteta that he is seeking a new challenge in his career.

However, exclusive information from England365 suggests that the situation regarding Xhaka’s future at Arsenal remains undecided. There is currently no agreement between Arsenal and Leverkusen. The German club has offered Xhaka a five-year contract (four years plus an optional fifth year) and £10 million to Arteta’s team.

Nevertheless, Arteta and Edu are not willing to sell their most experienced player for less than £15 million. As a result, negotiations are ongoing, and all possibilities are still on the table.

Therefore, we must wait and see whether Xhaka will ultimately depart from Arsenal. This situation is reminiscent of the events that unfolded between Xhaka and Roma, when the Italians would only offer a small transfer fee to Arsenal two summers ago.

    1. Even 25m is required for him. But i think no club trust this valuation due to up and down behaviour of the player. My concern is that replacing with the perfrct right footed DM is not assured.

  1. We must give credit to Xhaka – he has had an excellent season. He is unlikely to repeat this at his age, so now is the time to cash in while we can. No team can afford to stand still and expect an ageing squad to last for ever.

    1. Yes. But the player’s stance of leaving the club is still unknoun. If he leaves and the club recruited the upgrade, then it is a surprise. But with the lesser and unxperuence player, it is totally shocking.

  2. 13-15 million pounds would be great business considering he turns 31 soon and will enter last 12 months of his contract.

    Maybe negotiate Xhaka + cash for Diaby..?

  3. Arsenal are becoming ruthless in their transfer business and I love where the club are headed. No longer a time when players are sold under pressure for a penny. It’s now becoming all or nothing and it’s very good to see.

    As for Xhaka, I would love him to stay considering the number of competitions Arsenal will be in next season and he’s a very consistent player who has played in almost all the games this season. Also considering he has up his game and can get better next season.

    Unless he requests to go then he should be sold between £15-20million.

  4. If it was down to me, I would let xhaka live with honour at the end of his contract. He’s a player with gut and commitment to fight even in horror condition of the team. Let him stay
    Remember it will be difficult to find one of his quality and everyone even the one planning other to go will also move on somtime

  5. SELL HIM now! 😕
    He is an Albatross to our Team.
    Can’t Run, can’t Tackle, can’t Cover Paces and very Reckless in Key moments.
    Arteta’s Favouritism towards him is what killed our Title Challenge.😌😒

    1. Xhaka should not go cheaper, be careful on Salibas contract extension ,if not willing to sign please sell him,coz his back injury could cause Arsenal next summer,

    2. Vinnie2000, I posted about Xhaka yesterday and more or less said what you’re saying but more subtly. To me Xhaka’s name is synonymous with league failure ! He’s the one player who has been there throughout our barren years in the Prem. (OK Elneny and Holding also, but Xhaka has always been a first team starter).
      I’m not blaming him for our failures but he has never really helped our cause that much, although he had a decent season.
      So like you I say farewell to Xhaka without any reservations. It’s time for Arsenal to move on.

  6. I don’t see any reason to sell Xhaka unless he doesn’t want to stay at the Emirates. Of all the times that Xhaka has been with Arsenal this was the season where Mikel figured out how to exploit his qulities. Now buying Declan Rice or Caicedo does not mean anyting if he is not there. What if the one we buy gets injured? We are back in our same routine. Remember how the team suffered during the few games that he missed. I would hope him to stay and the team buy Caicedo and let the two fight for the place in the starting 11. The two can rotate to avoid the burn-out.

  7. OT:have I missed the article on Saka signing a new contract?290K/week until 2028!!👏
