Sunderland Refutes Rumors of Granit Xhaka’s January Departure

Club Statement on Xhaka’s Status

Sunderland officials have firmly rejected allegations suggesting that Granit Xhaka might be transferred in January.

The experienced midfielder joined the club from Bayer Leverkusen over the summer and was promptly appointed as the captain.

Xhaka’s Impact and Speculation

Xhaka’s performance has led various analysts to label the former Arsenal captain as one of the standout signings of the current season.

In light of his exceptional form, Juventus is reportedly looking into the possibility of acquiring Xhaka in the upcoming transfer window, with suggestions that Sunderland might entertain offers in the range of €20-25 million.

Nevertheless, a report from ChronicleLive indicates that Sunderland has no plans to part ways with Xhaka midseason and will disregard any proposals concerning the veteran player.
