Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has been offered the chance to join Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
The 30-year-old has been at the Gunners since 2016, making over 290 senior appearances at the Emirates Stadium so far.
The Swiss footballer has also been a very important member of Mikel Arteta’s side this season. He has started 33 matches in the Premier League so far, with five goals and seven assists to his name.
However, Arteta wants to sign West Ham United star Declan Rice and another central midfielder in the summer transfer window.
Xhaka, who will be out of contract in June 2024, would likely struggle for game time if the North Londoners make these signings.
The former Borussia Monchengladbach star could be tempted to return to Germany with Leverkusen keen to hire his services.
It is said that the Black and Reds are ready to offer him a long-term contract. And if he moves to the Bay Arena, then Arsenal could look to bring in Moussa Diaby as part of the deal.
The Gunners have been highly impressed with Diaby who has been earning rave reviews with his performances this season.
The Frenchman has made 30 Bundesliga appearances so far this term, contributing nine goals and nine assists.
His performances have even caught the attention of La Liga giants Real Madrid who are reportedly keeping a close eye on him ahead of the summer window.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United have also been credited with an interest in the 23-year-old winger.
