Granit Xhaka to Bayer Leverkusen, here we go! Agreement reached in May now being signed between clubs — green light arrived after Rice deal done. 🚨🔴⚫️ #transfers
Arsenal will receive €25m fee for Xhaka.
Understand Granit will sign until June 2028, five year deal.
Done. ✔️
It's a bittersweet moment. This time last year I'd have taken that and sprinted off into the sunset
€25m is still a great deal for a 30 year old player but after finally showing his true form last season I feel that he still had a role to play with us, even with the new signings. Family calls first though so have to respect it.
Yeah, plus more game time for him. Feels bad but it's a good fee and a move that suits him very well.
He is absolutely worth it, but €25m is a great deal for us!
Would have loved to see him play CL, but can respect his choice of leaving now.
Redemption arc complete.
Sad to see him go! Hope he comes back after his playing days to the club. He can be a good mentor for the academy players regarding mindset and approach
