Granit Xhaka agrees personal terms with Chelsea ahead of Sunderland talks
Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso is actively pushing to secure Sunderland captain Granit Xhaka, who has reportedly agreed to personal terms for a return to London.
Incoming Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has prioritized a Stamford Bridge reunion with Sunderland midfielder Granit Xhaka, prompting the West London club to launch formal pursuit of the veteran playmaker.
Reports indicate that the Swiss international has already agreed to personal terms, motivated by a desire to return to the capital where he previously featured for Arsenal.
The final execution of the transfer hinges on Chelsea negotiating a formal fee with Sunderland.
While Xhaka remains contracted at the Stadium of Light until 2028, a firm financial package from the Blues could break the deadlock if accepted by the Wearside hierarchy, completing Alonso’s second signing ahead of the upcoming Premier League campaign.
