Chelsea Push for Sunderland Captain Xhaka Reunion with Alonso
SportsXabi Alonso wants to reunite with Granit Xhaka, the midfielder who captained Sunderland to Europe last season. Chelsea have tabled a €30million bid at his request.
Resumen
The 33-year-old Swiss star shone in his Premier League debut with Sunderland after a £17million move from Leverkusen, delivering leadership, six assists, and a goal. Reports from journalists like Luca Cerchione, Florian Plettenberg, and Fabrizio Romano confirm Chelsea's opening offer, a verbal personal terms agreement, and Xhaka's readiness to join Alonso in London. Sunderland stand to profit, while Chelsea view him as a steady midfield presence amid talk of Enzo Fernandez leaving; fans debate the wisdom of the age and fee.
