Granit Xhaka

In recent transfer rumours from June/July 2026, Chelsea reportedly made initial offers for the player, cited as £8m (approx. €9m) and €9.3m, with a potential new offer of £10m (approx. €12m) also mentioned. One report cited a much higher Chelsea bid of €30m. Sunderland reportedly rejected the low offers and set an asking price of €40m, while also stating he was not for sale. Other reports suggested a deal could cost around €30m, or be in a similar range to the fee Sunderland paid. Transfermarkt's valuation was reported as €8m in June 2026. In November 2025, reports linked him to Juventus, with Sunderland's asking price then cited as a minimum of €15m. The player's completed transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to Sunderland in July 2025 was for a fee of €15.0M.

Our valuation for Granit Xhaka is shaped by the conflicting reports surrounding Chelsea's recent interest. While Chelsea submitted low opening bids around €9-12 million that were firmly rejected, Sunderland's reported asking price of €40 million seems aspirational. The valuation is anchored by the €15.0 million fee Sunderland paid in July 2025. The range reflects a potential compromise, with Chelsea reportedly unwilling to spend over €30 million for a player of his age, despite their manager's strong desire for the signing.
