AC Milan has endured a disappointing season. The Milanese side failed to impress in both Serie A and the Champions League competitions. The upcoming season at San Siro will unfold without any European tournaments. As a result, the Rossoneri are gearing up for serious reinforcements in the summer transfer window, with Luka Modrić’s arrival being a priority.

Meanwhile, AC Milan could soon secure another prominent player. This time, it’s Granit Xhaka who has reportedly given his approval for a move to San Siro, according to “ESPN.” The Swiss star of Bayer Leverkusen appears open to the switch, as negotiations between the clubs have already commenced. Bayer Leverkusen, while valuing Xhaka’s contributions, are not ruling out his transfer.

Granit Xhaka is likely to embrace AC Milan’s contract offer without hesitation, although the terms of the deal remain under wraps. Despite this optimism, the Rossoneri face financial constraints that could prolong negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen. Only time will tell if the Swiss midfielder will grace Serie A next season.

Xhaka holds a pivotal role at Bayer Leverkusen. Over the previous campaign, the Swiss international played an impressive 49 matches under the guidance of manager Xabi Alonso, who has since departed BayArena. During this period, Xhaka contributed two goals and seven assists, underscoring his importance to the team.
