According to reports, Granit Xhaka is close to leaving Arsenal as Inter Milan are eager to pay €40 million for the Swiss midfielder. Xhaka joined Arsenal from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2016 and has since made 134 appearances for the club, scoring 11 goals and providing 16 assists. This season, the midfielder has netted 4 goals and has registered 5 assists in 40 appearances across all competitions.
A while back, Xhaka hinted that he might leave Arsenal in the summer. Then, reports of Inter Milan being interested in Xhaka started emerging.
Inter’s new manager Antonio Conte is keen on bringing in Xhaka as he feels the Switzerland captain can be a good fit in his style of play. Arsenal are reportedly demanding €40 million from Inter and the club is willing to pay the amount.
Arsenal want to fortify their squad for the upcoming season but they are reportedly a little short of cash. Hence, the transfer of Xhaka could bring in funds which Arsenal can use to sign another player.
