Real Madrid have expressed interest in Switzerland captain Granit Xhaka, who is of Kosovan origin.
More specifically, head coach Jose Mourinho has held talks with the Swiss captain. Mourinho has known Xhaka since his time managing Tottenham, when the midfielder was playing for Arsenal. During those years, Xhaka reportedly expressed his desire to one day become part of the famous “Galácticos.”
If the transfer is completed, Xhaka’s salary at Los Blancos could reach as much as €7 million per season.
Commenting on the sensational news, coach Gentian Mezani said on Mega Sport that such a move would be a tremendous achievement not only for Xhaka but also for Albanians as a whole. Mezani praised Xhaka’s leadership qualities, emphasizing that football begins in the dressing room, where true leaders inspire and unite the team.
