Xhaka has been an essential player for Bayer Leverkusen since his arrival two years ago, contributing significantly to the team's achievements, including winning the double in 2024 by taking both the German league and the German Cup titles.

Rolfes expressed that granting Xhaka's wish to change clubs, under the agreed conditions, is the most suitable solution for Bayer and all parties concerned.

The club wishes Xhaka all the best for the remainder of his career.
