How Xhaka’s wife is pushing for him to leave the Emirates
Granit Xhaka is on the verge of departing Arsenal for Bayer Leverkusen, as the German team is confident that they will secure the signing of the Gunners’ midfielder once his current contract expires.
According to reports, Bayer Leverkusen is prepared to present Xhaka with a contract lasting up to four years, which is an offer he won’t receive from Arsenal if they intend to extend his current deal.
Despite being an integral player for Mikel Arteta, Granit Xhaka appears ready to stay at Arsenal if the club presents him with a new contract.
However, reports suggest that his wife, Leonita, who hails from Germany, is advocating for a move to the country of her origin.
Goal.com has provided further details, stating that Leonita and Xhaka initially crossed paths during his time playing in the Bundesliga, and she now expresses a strong desire to return to her homeland.
Xhaka’s wife’s desire to return to Germany has played a significant role in his decision to engage in discussions with Leverkusen.
Additionally, Xhaka is reportedly drawn to the specific role that former footballer Xabi Alonso, who is currently coaching at Leverkusen, has envisioned for him at the club starting from the upcoming season.
