‘As of today, I'm here' – Granit Xhaka on his Bayer Leverkusen future
Ahead of Switzerland's friendly against Mexico in Salt Lake City, Granit Xhaka had an opportunity to address his Bayer Leverkusen future after it emerged that Milan were interested in the Bundesliga and German Cup champion. With Xabi Alonso leaving Leverkusen for Real Madrid, Jonathan Tah switching to Bayern Munich and Jeremie Frimpong joining Liverpool, with Florian Wirtz also potentially heading out of the door at the BayArena, Xhaka explained his reasoning by his recent comments, which suggested that he was about to return to Basel. Advertisement 'I already experience a major upheaval at Arsenal in 2019 […] That takes a lot of energy,' said Xhaka. 'And I'm no longer 25. I'll be 33 in September. And of course, the players who are leaving or have left are a huge loss, definitely […] Because they were extremely important for the team.' Xhaka has three-years remaining on his contract, but that hasn't stopped clubs showing an interest in signing Xhaka. Directly addressing his future, Xhaka added: 'With Simon Rolfes and Fernando Carro, we have enough players who can hopefully get the team back to that level. Whether it's with or without me is another question. But as of today, I'm here. We're happy and that's what matters.' But Xhaka also admitted that a move away could be interesting. 'I haven't played everywhere yet,' added the 32-year-old. 'Of course, you think about it but as I said, my mind is far away. I have my family and my management to take care of such things. And when the time comes and you have an offer on the table, then you start thinking about it. And when the time comes for a transfer to take place, I'll definitely let you know.' GGFN | Daniel Pinder

Report – Inter Milan Will Only Move For Nico Paz This Summer On One Condition
Report – Inter Milan Will Only Move For Nico Paz This Summer On One Condition Inter Milan will only move for Nico Paz this summer in the event that Davide Frattesi leaves the club. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Corriere della Sera, via FCInter1908. Advertisement It is certainly no secret that Inter Milan are extremely keen to sign midfielder Nico Paz. The Argentine's explosion in form with Como this past season has long marked him out as a target for the Nerazzurri. Inter Will Only Move For Nico Paz If Davide Frattesi Leaves MILAN, ITALY – MARCH 30: Davide Frattesi of FC Internazionale celebrates after scoring their team's secon goal during the Serie A match between FC Internazionale and Udinese Calcio at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza on March 30, 2025 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by) Paz has played as an attacking midfielder for Como. Reports suggest that Inter see the 19-year-old as more of a central player rather than an attacking one. However, it is also not clear how the arrival of Cristian Chivu as coach would necessarily change this assessment. In the meantime, Inter have completed a deal to sign Petar Sucic. That has reinforced the squad in central areas. Advertisement However, reports the Gazzetta, Inter could still lose Davide Frattesi this summer. The arrival of Chivu as coach may not have changed the Italian international's fate. And in the event that Frattesi does leave, Inter could move to sign Nico Paz for the midfield. However, if Frattesi were to stay, then Inter would not likely move for Paz.
