Xhaka's influence could add value to the Cats squad

Shields Gazette

October 15, 2025

A football finance expert has praised Sunderland's calculated approach to spending after confirming that Granit Xhaka's transfer from Bayer Leverkusen represented a £17.3million investment by Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and the club's ownership group.

- by James Copley

The Swiss international signed a three-year deal with the Black Cats in July 2025, joining for an initial £13million with up to £4.3million in add-ons based on appearances and performance-related bonuses.

The move marked one of the most significant single outlays in Sunderland's modern history. Charlie Stebbings described the deal as a forward-thinking investment that reflects the club's long-term vision rather than short-term financial gain.
