Bayer Leverkusen has had a rough offseason — and it could get worse.
Granit Xhaka reportedly wants to leave the club in favor of Sunderland per Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg:
EXCL | Granit #Xhaka wants to join #Sunderland immediately.
His agent José Noguera told me for Sky: “We’ve reached an agreement in principle with Sunderland. Granit wants to return to the Premier League. Sunderland excites him – he wants to take on this challenge. We hope Leverkusen will respect his wish to leave and that the clubs
