BREAKING: Granit Xhaka Sets Conditions for Arsenal Return.
Former Arsenal midfielder Granit Xhaka has dropped a bombshell regarding a potential return to the Emirates this summer. In a shocking revelation, the Bayer Leverkusen star admitted he is open to rejoining the Gunners but under one strict condition—he refuses to play alongside a certain player he feels has “betrayed” him.
“The Emirates is my home, and I could never abandon it like some other players have,” Xhaka stated in an exclusive interview. “If the club wants me back, I’m open to returning. However, I refuse to play alongside a certain Arsenal player who has betrayed me.”
While Xhaka did not reveal the player’s name, speculation is already running wild among fans and pundits. The 31-year-old midfielder, who left Arsenal last summer after a turbulent yet ultimately redemptive tenure, has been instrumental in Bayer Leverkusen’s stunning Bundesliga title charge under Xabi Alonso. His departure was amicable, with Mikel Arteta praising his professionalism and leadership.
However, this latest statement hints at unresolved tensions within the squad. Some fans believe Xhaka could be referring to a player involved in past dressing-room conflicts, while others wonder if there is a deeper personal issue behind the remark.
Arsenal, currently chasing silverware in both the Premier League and Champions League, may have to navigate this potential dilemma if they wish to bring back the experienced midfielder. With Declan Rice flourishing in midfield, it remains to be seen whether Arteta would be willing to accommodate Xhaka’s return—especially under such conditions.
More details are expected to emerge in the coming weeks as the summer transfer window
approaches.
