In a surprising turn of events, Granit Xhaka has seemingly confirmed his imminent departure from Arsenal, leaving fans speculating about his next destination. The Swiss international took to his Instagram story to share a cryptic ‘goodbye’ message, fueling rumors of an impending transfer.
Xhaka has been the subject of intense transfer speculation, with Bayer Leverkusen expressing a keen interest in bringing the midfielder back to Germany this summer. With just one year remaining on his contract, Arsenal is open to selling Xhaka to avoid losing him on a free transfer.
Despite being a pivotal figure under manager Mikel Arteta this season, Xhaka’s recent Instagram post suggests that a definitive decision has been made regarding his future. Following his outstanding performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday, where he was awarded the Man of the Match accolade, the 30-year-old shared a photo of himself donning Puma attire with a caption that read: “Two goals for the goodbye.”
Xhaka’s exceptional display against Wolves saw him find the back of the net twice within the opening 14 minutes of the resounding 5-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium. This impressive brace took his season’s goal tally to nine, marking his most prolific campaign in an Arsenal jersey.
As Xhaka’s time at Arsenal appears to be drawing to a close, fans eagerly await official confirmation of his departure and the subsequent unveiling of his new club. The departure of the influential midfielder will undoubtedly leave a void in Arteta’s squad, necessitating the need for suitable reinforcements ahead of the upcoming season.
Only time will tell where Xhaka’s future lies, but his goodbye message has certainly set the wheels in motion for an intriguing transfer saga that will undoubtedly captivate the attention of football enthusiasts around the world.
