AC Milan Target Senior Bayer Leverkusen Midfielder

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan are targeting Bayer Leverkusen’s senior midfielder — Granit Xhaka to strengthen their midfield during this summer transfer window.

The 32-year-old Swiss midfielder has given positive signals to Rossoneri to start official negotiations. AC Milan plans to submit an offer of around 10 million euros to Die Werkself.

This transfer situation is complicated as Xhaka’s contract runs until 2028. Bayer Leverkusen maintains a strong position — the Bundesliga runners-up from last season will receive fresh funds from selling Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz to Liverpool.

If joining Milan, the former Arsenal captain would have to forfeit the opportunity to play in Champions League next season.
