Granit Xhaka to Juventus –  Fabrizio Romano Latest Update

Fabrizio Romano has once again dismissed the idea of Granit Xhaka joining Juventus in the January transfer window. The well-known transfer specialist explained the situation on his YouTube channel, and his comments were later summarized by TuttoJuve.

Romano stressed that the Swiss midfielder remains an untouchable figure for Sunderland, which views him as the core of its long-term project.

According to Romano, Sunderland has made its position very clear. The club considers any potential negotiation with Juventus impossible during the winter window. This stance is not only tied to the current moment but also to the future.

The English side is convinced that Xhaka will remain central to its project even in the summer. Sunderland made a heavy investment when it signed Xhaka. The club acted decisively while many teams were monitoring the player.

Milan and Juventus were among the clubs linked to him during the summer, yet Sunderland pushed harder. It placed a significant offer on the table, far higher than the early figures discussed across Europe.

Romano highlighted that Sunderland spent well over twenty million euros to secure Xhaka. The club paid far more than the seven or eight million first rumored. This financial effort shows the trust placed in the experienced midfielder.

Juventus Must Look Elsewhere for Midfield Reinforcements

Sunderland considers him the leader of the squad. He is not a young prospect, but he provides authority, discipline, and direction. The English club sees him as the heartbeat of its project.

Because of this, the idea of releasing him now makes no sense for them. Romano stressed that even talking about a January deal is pointless, despite recent rumors and speculation in Italy.

Juventus has monitored several profiles for the midfield in recent months. Xhaka’s name surfaced again due to his past links with Italian clubs. However, Romano’s update shuts down any hope of negotiations during the winter.

Juventus must therefore explore other options if it aims to strengthen its midfield. Xhaka remains tied to Sunderland’s ambitions and identity. His role is essential, and the club does not intend to weaken itself mid-season. Romano’s authoritative update leaves no room for doubts: a Xhaka-Juventus move is not happening in January.
