The well-known German newspaper 'Kicker' has revealed that Bayer Leverkusen was close to losing the services of Granit Xhaka in the summer of 2023.
The deal almost fell through due to financial disputes, but managing director Simon Rolfes was instrumental in the midfielder's move to the German champions.
Then, Granit Xhaka joined "Aspirins" for 15 million euros from Arsenal and became a leader at the German club.
His impact on the club's huge success in his first year was remarkable as Bayer Leverkusen dominated his side, winning the league title for the first time in their history and the German Cup.
They also went to the final of the Europa League where they were defeated by Atalanta, which was their only defeat that year.
The Albanian midfielder has played as a starter in the Bundesliga this season, while he is still one of the most important players of Bayer Leverkusen. He has a contract with Çabi Alonso's team until 2028.
