Report: Sunderland enter the race for Granit Xhaka | OneFootball

According to the latest Sacha Tavolieri report, Sunderland have entered the race for Granit Xhaka.

Thanks to club owner Kyril Louis Dreyfus, they're now in talks with Bayer Leverkusen regarding a €10million deal.

The newly promoted Premier League side are eager to plug the midfield hole left by Jobe Bellingham's transfer to Borussia Dortmund.

However, Sunderland are facing stiff competition from recently founded Saudi Arabian side NEOM SC.

As previously reported, NEOM offered the Swiss international a 3-year contract, instantly making him one of the talismanic names at the club.
