Xhaka linked to Chelsea during World Cup
Granit Xhaka could be on his way to Chelsea. Reports from Germany link the Switzerland captain with a move to Stamford Bridge while he is still at the 2026 World Cup (1). For Swiss fans, the timing is striking, your most important player's club future is being negotiated in the middle of the tournament. No deal is done yet, and there is no word from Xhaka's camp, but Chelsea's interest appears genuine. The 33-year-old has been central to everything Switzerland do, and a Premier League return would be one of the biggest moves of his career.
