Chelsea may soon draw up a new proposal for the transfer of Sunderland central manager Granit Xhaka. The Athletic reports this.

According to Dzherel, the first proposal of Londoners in the amount of 8 million pounds was categorically rejected by the “black cats”. Currently, Chelsea are not convinced by the idea of \u200b\u200bsigning a 33-year-old midfielder and are ready to improve their financial minds.

Xhaka himself, as it turns out, positively assesses the possibility of a return to London, having previously engraved in the Arsenal.

One of the key factors is the work under the leadership of the new head coach of Chelsea Xabi Alonso, with whom the Swiss successfully worked with Bayer.

While Chelsea is interested, Sunderland are in no hurry to part ways with one of the team's leaders - the club is committed to the idea that their captain is not for sale. Negotiations between the parties are in turmoil, and in the near future the London club will try to overturn the “black cats” policy with a new proposal.

Last season, the Swiss national team captain recorded 1 goal and 6 assists in 36 matches for Sunderland.
