Granit Xhaka has stated that his sole focus remains on the upcoming World Cup, despite ongoing transfer interest from Chelsea. The Swiss midfielder helped guide his national team to a 2-0 victory over Algeria in the Round of 16 on Friday, coming just days after reports indicated he was a potential target for the London club. According to reports from talkSPORT, Chelsea reportedly submitted an initial bid of approximately 9.3 million euros for Xhaka.
However, Sunderland promptly rejected this offer, characterizing it as “completely unacceptable.” Furthermore, sources suggest that Sunderland has no intention of entertaining other offers for the midfielder and does not feel any pressure to sell. The focus remains on Xhaka’s commitment to the tournament. Despite the club’s interest, the sentiment from his current club indicates a strong desire to retain him.
The German star is expected to feature in the defense for the Swiss squad. The ongoing reports emphasize the player’s dedication to the World Cup campaign over immediate transfer considerations.
