Granit Xhaka is considering leaving Bayer Leverkusen at the end of the season, according to Sky.

The report adds that Leverkusen would be open to letting the 32-year-old depart for a modest transfer fee.

Galatasaray are said to be particularly keen on signing the Swiss international, who is reportedly intrigued by the lucrative financial package on offer from the Turkish giants. 

The former Arsenal and Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder has also been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia.

Since joining Leverkusen from Arsenal in the summer of 2023 for a reported €15 million, Xhaka has been a key figure under Xabi Alonso.

He hasn’t missed a single match this season and remains under contract until 2028.
