Xhaka's Potential Move to AC Milan on the Horizon
AC Milan secretly established a midfield tandem, known as "Altherren."
Got your attention? Let's dive into the buzz around Granit Xhaka potentially joining AC Milan, as speculations heat up.
Reports have surfaced in the Italian newspaper "Gazzetta dello Sport," indicating that Xhaka, currently under contract with Bayer Leverkusen, is on AC Milan's shopping list. The Swiss midfielder, himself, appears to be showing interest in a move to Lombardy. Rumors swirl that transfer negotiations between the two clubs could kick off as soon as this week. Xhaka's long-term contract with Leverkusen, running until the end of June 2028, could potentially be a deciding factor.
AC Milan seems to be plotting big moves, with defender Malick Thiaw in their sights as a potential piece of the puzzle. Thiaw, a three-time German international, joined Lombardy in the 2022/23 season. If the deal goes through, he could replace Jonathan Tah, who recently secured a free transfer to Bayern Munich.
AC Milan's Ambitious Plans
AC Milan's sporting director Igli Tare appears to have ambitious plans for a formidable midfield. Reports suggest that Xhaka could line up alongside Croatian legend Luka Modric in the AC jersey, with the Italian traditional club reportedly expecting the signing of Modric in the coming days.
Bayer Leverkusen has been hit hard by departures, losing the likes of Xabi Alonso (to Real Madrid), Jonathan Tah, and Jeremie Frimpong, with the transfer of exceptional talent Florian Wirtz to Liverpool seemingly imminent. Xhaka himself referred to these departures as "a big loss." While his long-term future at the club is uncertain, he recently stated, "whether with me or without me is another question, but as of today, I'm here. We are happy, and that's what counts."
Stay tuned as negotiations unfold. In the world of football, anything can happen!
