Sunderland are not expected to sell midfielder Granit Xhaka during the summer transfer window, despite Chelsea's interest in his services.
The Albanian midfielder of Swiss nationality was among Sunderland's most important players last season, contributing to the team's surprise performance, which ended the championship in seventh place and secured qualification for the Europa League.
During the season, Xhaka made 36 appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal and providing six assists. His good performances attracted interest from several major European clubs.
According to Sky Sports News reports, Chelsea submitted a concrete offer for the 32-year-old at the start of the summer transfer window, but it was rejected by Sunderland's management.
The same sources say that a transfer of Xhaka to Stamford Bridge is now considered very unlikely. The midfielder has decided to continue his career at Sunderland, while the club is not ready to give up one of the most important players in the team.
Sunderland see Granit Xhaka as a key element of the project for the new season, where they aim to be competitive in both the Premier League and European competitions.
