La Liga
The Turin Juventus is moving decisively in the transfer market and has set Granit Xhaka as a top target. The experienced Swiss midfielder from Bayer Leverkusen is the chosen one by the 'bianconeri' board to strengthen a key area of the field and adapt to the tactical idea that Igor Tudor wants to implement in his first season leading the team.
With the possible departure of Douglas Luiz, the Serie A club sees Xhaka as the perfect complement for their new playing style, as reported by 'Gazzetta dello Sport'. In Tudor's intended 3-4-2-1 formation, a midfielder with personality, vision, and leadership skills is needed. Qualities that the Swiss has demonstrated significantly in Germany, being a fundamental piece in Leverkusen's historic Bundesliga title in the 2023-24 season.
Juventus considers him crucial to operate their midfield
Although Milan also considered his signing weeks ago, the arrival of Samuele Ricci and the imminent signing of Luka Modric have diverted Rossoneri's interest, paving the way for Juve to strongly pursue Xhaka.
At 32 years old, the player is open to a new challenge in a demanding and competitive environment, and sees joining one of the giants of Italian football with good eyes. Juventus, on the other hand, understands that his addition wouldn't be a long-term bet, but an immediate solution to enhance the quality and compete for all titles next season.
