Sunderland accepts the agreement and the book Medical with Switzerland Star now on the point of joining
Sunderland has agreed initial costs of 13 million pounds sterling to sign Granit Xhaka, which will sign a three -year contract on Wearside this week.
Xhaka had become the most prominent target of the Black Cats of the summer transfer window, while they are looking to make important and experienced signatures before the start of the new Premier League season.
The Swiss has been strongly linked to a move to Sunderland of the Giants of Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen, the 32 -year -old man already having a huge experience in the English game since his days of Arsenal.
Xhaka apparently likes the idea of being a vital player in the quest for Black Cats to avoid relegation directly to the championship, believing that his time in a Leverkusen shirt reached his natural conclusion after winning the title of Bundesliga in 2023/24.
The legendary Switzerland International has dominated the big titles linked to Sunderland lately and now two Quickfire updates have emerged concerning the situation.
Xhaka should sign a three -year contract
Reports broke out on Monday morning that Sunderland agreed with a move of 15 million pounds sterling for Xhaka, the veteran midfielder who will join Leverkusen. However, Keith Downie shared a new update, revealing many good news for those on Wearside.
Indeed, the Xhaka contract will be a year more than the first report, and the initial cost is in fact lower than the figures circulating.
“I had a more precise ventilation of the cost. Sunderland will pay 13 million pounds sterling in advance, with 4.3 million pounds sterling for Xhaka. The 137 -time capped midfielder has received the green light to travel for a medical. I can also confirm that it is a three -year offer, and not two years (reported elsewhere) which was agreed.”
This is a fantastic news for any person associated with Sunderland, Xhaka a signature of declaration that could team up with regis Le Bris.

The Black Cats included a buyout clause.
The Black Cats made a promotion with a young team, with emerging fields such as Jobe Bellingham and Chris Rigg Excellant, but no more experience is necessary in the middle of the Premier League park, not to mention a replacement for the first after its move to Borussia Dortmund.
In Xhaka, Sunderland could have the perfect man to come, the former player-benchman winning an incredible 137 caps for Switzerland and being praised by the former manager of Leverkusen Xabi Alonso for his “big heart”, always giving his cause and playing with great passion.
This is now a case of the last parts of the trial transfer, before Xhaka joins his new teammates, let’s hope to make a huge impression of the end.
