Granit Xhaka

In summer 2026, reports indicated Chelsea made an initial offer of £8m (approx. €9.5m), which was rejected, with a subsequent offer of around £10m (approx. €12m) also expected. Other reports mentioned a separate €30m offer from Chelsea and a high asking price from Sunderland of €40m. Some speculation suggested a deal could cost around €30m, while another report suggested a price similar to the fee Sunderland paid. His Transfermarkt value was listed at €8m in June 2026. In November 2025, it was reported Sunderland would demand a minimum of €15 million from Juventus. The player's confirmed transfer from Bayer Leverkusen to Sunderland in July 2025 was for a fee of €15 million.

Our valuation is anchored by the €15 million fee Sunderland paid for Granit Xhaka in July 2025. The lower bound is set by this figure, as Chelsea's recent offers of around €10-€12 million were immediately rejected as unacceptable. The upper bound acknowledges Sunderland's strong 'not for sale' stance and his importance to the team, which would necessitate a significant profit to even consider a sale, though reported asking prices of €30-€40 million seem unrealistic given his age.
