Internet trolls and know-it-alls think they discovered the true reason behind Granit Xhaka’s transfer to Bayer Leverkusen. According to German newspaper Bild, Granit’s wife Leonita made the midfielder return to Germany.##NAJAVA_MECA_7362959##After seven years in London, the former Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder’s family was keen for a change in scenery. But Xhaka said those stories were just a bunch of nonsense.”There was speculation everywhere that my wife was no longer happy in England. That is not at all true. The fact is that, as a person, I am always interested in new challenges. After seven years, the time has come for something completely new. The league is not new, but the club is. During the talks with sporting director Simon Rolfes and head coach Xabi Alonso, I felt that the long-term project at Leverkusen was worthwhile and 100 per cent suitable for me.” Прикажи ову објаву у апликацији Instagram Објава коју дели LEONITA XHAKA (@leonita.x) In addition, Xhaka praised former manager Mikel Arteta, whom he previously credited with rescuing his career at Arsenal after he lost his position as the team’s captain following his altercation with supporters.”He’s a coach who understands an incredible amount of football. He’s someone who sees football with completely different eyes. I had a great relationship with him. Thanks in part to him, we achieved what was missing for years: the Champions League.”
