£8m is such a derisory bid for Granit Xhaka…
And look I get it from Chelsea’s perspective… he’ll be 34 in September. They were never going to start by offering Sunderland a profit.
But such is Xhaka’s importance to us, unless he desperately wants out and isn’t invested anymore, I wouldn’t consider selling him for any price short of £50m this summer.
That might sound ridiculous and I’m not in charge of the club’s finances… but would I rather have £50m on the books or Xhaka on the pitch? The latter everyday.
He’s that important.
🚨 Xhaka is PUSHING to go to Chelsea, but Sunderland are blocking the deal, especially because Chelsea bid of £8m was not enough. The player is going to play a role in this story, because Sunderland do not want to sell the player and are being very tough. (@FabrizioRomano)

🚨 Xhaka Details: Xhaka has made it very clear to Sunderland, he wants CHELSEA. Why? One name, Xabi Alonso. They LOVE each-other. Alonso wants Xhaka as a LEADER of Chelsea.
