Sunderland rejected 8m euros, Chelsea ready next bid for Granit Jaka

Blues are expected to hold a new round of talks with Sunderland on Monday, as the first 8m-euro bid was immediately rejected by the English club.

Sunderland has made clear both publicly and privately that their captain is not on sale and that they have no intention of considering further bids for the Albanian midfielder.

However, Jaka remains interested in a transfer to “Stemford Bridge”, after wanting to be reunited with Xabi Alonson, who successfully worked with Bayer Leverkusen, reports Telegraphy. Periscope.

"Transferation remains difficult, but at this stage it has not failed", it wrote Pletenberg on social networks, allowing Chelsea to continue efforts to convince Sunderland.

Meanwhile, Jaka remains focused on the 2026 World Championship, where Switzerland has reached its phase of direct elimination where it has work with Algeria. /Periscope
