Milan push for Xhaka with Thiaw to tempt Bayer Leverkusen

Multiple sources confirm fresh talks between Milan and Bayer Leverkusen for Granit Xhaka, who is open to the move, with Malick Thiaw potentially part of the deal.

It was already reported over the last few days that Xhaka was a primary target for new coach Max Allegri, who already brought in valuable experience and class to his midfield with free agent Luka Modric.

Now Fabrizio Romano, Florian Plettenburg and Calciomercato.com are among those all confirming that new contact was made over the weekend, with talks progressing well.
