Former Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka is reportedly poised to rejoin the Premier League with newly promoted Sunderland for the 2025/26 season. Multiple news sources confirmed on July 28, 2025, that Bayer Leverkusen is prepared to release Xhaka, despite three years remaining on his contract. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano announced via social media that Sunderland agreed to a £20 million fee for the midfielder, who has signed a three-year deal, keeping him with the club until at least summer 2028.
The Swiss international departed Arsenal in the 2023 summer transfer window to join Bayer Leverkusen, where he played a key role in their 2023/24 Bundesliga title win under Xabi Alonso, ending Bayern Munich’s dominance. Xhaka has scored 6 goals in 99 appearances across all competitions for Leverkusen since July 2023. Leverkusen fans will remember his decisive goal in the DFB-Pokal final on May 25, 2024, against Kaiserslautern, securing a historic double for the club.
