Granit Xhaka's summer is set to be a very hot one. The Albanian midfielder has become a target for many big-name clubs, as Juventus and Milan are competing to sign him from Leverkusen.
But while Xhaka was considering these options, asking Leverkusen to allow him to leave for Serie A, an offer has come in that has muddied the waters. According to “footmercato”, the 32-year-old midfielder has become a target for the NEOM SC club, which is spending crazy amounts of money in recent weeks to build a prestigious squad.
The club in question is the team that represents the city of Neom in Saudi Arabia and has just risen to the elite of Saudi football. Crazy amounts are being spent on it, as it is part of one of the most ambitious projects of the last decade in Saudi Arabia. This is because the city of Neom does not exist.
It is a city that is being built from scratch in the middle of the desert and is predicted to be a modern capital of the Middle East within 10 years. But for now it is just a giant construction site populated by workers who are building an entire city from the ground up.
However, the team is expected to be the "advertisement" of the city, so the investments in it, from the Saudi state itself, are colossal. Thus, the well-known Christophe Galtier has become the coach, while recently a name like Alexandre Lacazette has also joined the team. The figures that have been offered to Xhaka have not yet been learned, but in France they are convinced that it is a staggering sum that could convince him to change his mind and leave Europe behind.
