🚨 Jamie Carragher on Sunderland rejecting Chelsea's reported €8m bid for Granit Xhaka:
🗣️Carragher - Chelsea is such an unserious club.
Listen, what a way to show Xabi Alonso you're serious about him!
Chelsea have gone and made Sunderland — a club that only just got promoted — walk away from the table. Absolutely embarrassing.
Sunderland paid over £13 million for Granit Xhaka last season. Made him captain straight away. He's been a leader for them, helping them punch well above their weight.
They've come out and said it clear as day: he's not for sale this summer.
But what do Chelsea do? Chuck in a bid that's SIGNIFICANTLY less than what Sunderland paid for him.
That's not just an insult to Sunderland, that's a slap in the face to Xhaka AND to Xabi Alonso!
For a player that's not even for sale, how on earth can you lowball them like that? It's disrespectful.
You want to build something under a top manager like Alonso? This isn't how you do it, lads. Sort it out."
