“That's a matter between him, his management, and the club. In the end, he'll know what's best for him.

[It's completely normal in football] that unforeseen things happen sometimes. I can't say much about it.

“I'm not his advisor, I'm not his agent. Anything can happen,” said the 30-year-old, who joined from 1.FC Union Berlin in 2021.

Andrich and Xhaka played a pivotal role in 2023-24 season, anchoring the Werkself midfield to claim their maiden Bundesliga title.
