Granit Xhaka, who was linked with a return to his hometown club Basel, where he recently attended a match, has denied any immediate transfer. Despite previously hinting at a possible return, he emphasized his satisfaction at Bayer Leverkusen. Xhaka, who is under contract with Leverkusen until 2028, conveyed his happiness with the club and mentioned that while football can be unpredictable, he plans to stay. His recent visit to Basel for a championship match led to speculation, but he clarified these rumors while on international duty in Mexico, explaining that although he contributed to some of the rumors, his family's happiness in Germany is a priority. The midfielder, who previously played for Arsenal, is expected to facilitate the transition between Leverkusen's past project under Xabi Alonso and the forthcoming era with Erik Ten Hag.
