BREAKING: Sunderland Defeat AC Milan To Sign £17 Million Superstar Granit Xhaka
In a stunning transfer twist, Sunderland have pulled off one of the most sensational moves of the summer by signing Swiss international Granit Xhaka for £17 million—beating European giants AC Milan to the deal.
The 32-year-old midfielder, who was instrumental in Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga-winning campaign last season, brings world-class experience and leadership to the Black Cats. Known for his tenacity, passing range, and tactical intelligence, Xhaka’s arrival signals a bold new era for the Wearside club.
Sunderland, who recently secured promotion back to the Premier League, have wasted no time making their mark in the transfer market. While many expected Xhaka to return to Italy, where Milan had shown strong interest, Sunderland’s ambition and vision reportedly swayed the former Arsenal captain.
According to sources close to the club, manager Régis Le Bris was pivotal in convincing Xhaka to join the project at the Stadium of Light. The Swiss star is believed to have been impressed by the club’s direction, facilities, and the opportunity to play a central role in their top-flight return.
This move not only bolsters Sunderland’s midfield but also brings invaluable experience to a young squad. With Xhaka now on board, expectations have skyrocketed for what could be a remarkable Premier League campaign.
