AC Milan fails to secure Granit Xhaka due to Leverkusen’s firm stance

The transfer plan of Granit Xhaka to AC Milan has hit a major roadblock — Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen shows determination to retain their key midfielder.

Despite reaching positive talks with the Swiss player, I Rossoneri must face a bitter reality. Several media outlets report that a verbal agreement had been reached between Milan and Xhaka for a three-year contract.

The Italian club’s offer includes a salary package worth 4 million euros per season plus various bonuses — however, Bayer Leverkusen’s firm stance becomes the main obstacle for this transfer.
