"Gladbach" sports director: Xhaka will not leave the team in winter

Monchengladbach's "Borussia" sports director Max Eberl rejects the possibility that the team's defender Granit Xhaka will be sold already this January.

Recently, the Swiss player has been linked with the London clubs "Arsenal" and "Liverpool".

However, according to Goal.com, the player's agent has only met with the manager of the Merseyside team, Jurgen Klopp, and the "Gunners" have not approached the German team.

"Granit Xhaka will not leave us this winter," Eberl told Sport1. "I think winter transfers are very difficult."

"Ultimately, no team wants to jeopardize their success in the middle of the season."

"Usually, we are not the team that is active in winter, as we build the squad for the entire season."

On the other hand, "Gladbach" sports director also mentioned that Xhaka, sought after by English clubs, could leave in the summer. The player himself has mentioned that playing in the "Premier" League is his dream.
