The future of uncertain Jaka, Blick writes he can leave Leverkusen

After a 12-hour flight on Swiss National charter plane, Granit Jaka arrived in late hours of the night in Salt Lake City, Utah. In North America, the captain of Switzerland will face a recent challenge after a tiring season - two friendly matches against Mexico and the United States.

After his return on June 12th, the 32-year-old Bundesligla midfielder has planned several days off, but is not expected to leave media attention. Blick reports that his departure from the Beyer Leverkusen project is a matter of time, despite valid contracts until 2028. Currently, talks are under way in the background to determine possible conditions for his transfer.

FC Basel, Granit's childhood club, is not expected to be part of these discussions, despite the fact that he had mentioned a possible return during his brother's farewell to the Superleagues. However, according to information, return to “St. Jacob-Park” is not on Jaka's current plans. In the international arena, some clubs are said to have expressed concrete interest in its services.

Jaka has held 99 matches with Bayer Leverkusen's fans, setting new standards for an organising midfielder in Bundesliga. In the club they described as “the head of the strip room”, a leading figure who has had great influence on the historic success of last season, where Levekuseni won the title and Cup for the first time in history.

His connection to Coach Xabi Alonso was extraordinary: “I learned a lot from both tactically and human relations,” had declared Jaka in an interview for Bleck in January.

When the departure of Alonso was confirmed in May, Real Madrid coach began to change. Guardian Jonathan Tah is towards Bayern Munich, Jeremie Frimpong has passed on to Liverpool and Florian Wirtz is said to have a verbal agreement with Liverpool as well.

In this climate of major changes, sports director Simon Rolfs has a challenging task ahead. He recently announced a significant development: Eric ten Hag, former Manchester United coach, will take the lead. But the main question is, with which leaders will he begin the new Beyer Leverkusen project?

In view of recent developments, Gran'n Jaka's future is more open than ever. And summer Mercedes is expected to be crucial to the next chapter of his career. /Periscope/
