Chelsea reportedly intends to pursue the transfer of Granit Xhaka from Sunderland, despite the English club’s initial rejection of a bid. Sources indicate that Chelsea’s first offer, reported to be around eight million pounds, was declined by Sunderland, who have stated they have no plans to sell one of their key players. Consequently, the London club is now expected to present an enhanced offer, with valuations suggesting a potential range of 10 to 12.5 million pounds, in addition to supplementary bonuses.
Reports suggest that Xhaka himself has expressed interest in moving to Chelsea. Furthermore, Xabi Alonso is cited as a key advocate for the transfer, as he wishes to collaborate with the Albanian midfielder again, recalling a previous working relationship at Bayer Leverkusen. The sustained interest from Chelsea suggests a continued effort to secure the player.
While the club’s directors have reportedly been involved in the negotiations, the focus remains on presenting a revised and more substantial financial offer to convince Sunderland to reconsider their stance on the transfer. The outcome of this subsequent offer is anticipated to be a significant development in the transfer market.
