Sunderland captain Granit Xhaka is set to remain at the club this summer, with reports indicating Chelsea’s interest does not lead to a transfer. Sky Sports News reports that Xhaka will be staying despite a Chelsea bid, putting an end to speculation about a potential move. Multiple outlets also describe Sunderland’s position that the midfielder is not for sale, suggesting the club’s stance is a key factor in the negotiations. BBC Sport similarly states that Xhaka is expected to stay at Sunderland despite interest from Chelsea. Yahoo Sports echoes the same conclusion, reporting that Xhaka commits to staying with the Black Cats while Chelsea’s approach fails to change Sunderland’s view. One report also links the speculation to Chelsea’s new head coach Xabi Alonso, with Xhaka previously working under Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen. Overall, all sources agree that Xhaka will not move to Chelsea and instead will remain with Sunderland for the coming season.
