Bayer Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes has issued another statement on the exit rumors surrounding Granit Xhaka. Rolfes recently suggested that the Bundesliga club was prepared to let the talismanic midfielder leave the Bundesliga for Saudi Arabia. Rolfes sounded very different at a Friday media event.
“We have big goals over the next few years,” Rolfes said from Leverkusen’s training camp “That’s why a transfer can only happen if it’s good for all sides. We’ll have to wait and see. But our goal remains for Granit to stay with us.
“Of course, there is interest in him,” Rolfes continued whilst speaking on Xhaka, who has been linked with a move to Sunderland as well. “We have to talk to the player to find out what his ambitions are. But one thing is clear: there would only be a transfer if it were a win-win situation.
“Our primary interest is in keeping him,” Rolfes concluded.
