XHAKA GOES AFTER HIS OWN COACH ON INSTAGRAM AND DELETES IT — BUT SUNDERLAND FANS ALREADY HAVE THE SCREENSHOT
XHAKA’S DELETED POST EXPOSES TRANSFER FURY AS CHELSEA DEAL HANGS IN BALANCE
The Sunderland captain has broken his silence and then tried to take it back. But it’s too late.
Granit Xhaka thought he could say what he wanted and erase it before the world noticed. He was wrong.
In a stunning social media moment that has sent shockwaves through football, the Sunderland captain posted a cryptic but pointed message on his personal Instagram account one that those who saw it immediately understood was directed squarely at the men sitting in the boardroom at the Stadium of Light.
Within minutes, the post was gone. But fans had already captured it.
CHELSEA WANT HIM BUT SUNDERLAND’S BOARD ARE STANDING IN THE WAY
Chelsea’s interest in Xhaka is no secret. The Blues lodged a significant bid weeks ago, and by all accounts the player himself is desperate to make the move happen.
The pull is personal. Xabi Alonso the man who recently took the reins at Stamford Bridge knows Xhaka better than most. The chance to reunite with his former manager in London is one the 33-year-old simply cannot ignore.
But the transfer has stalled. Sources close to the situation point to one obstacle Sunderland’s club board, who have repeatedly turned down Chelsea’s advances despite the player’s clear desire to leave
Head coach Régis Le Bris handed Xhaka the captaincy when he arrived from Germany last summer a show of faith that makes the board’s position even more complicated. Le Bris wants him. The board want to keep him. But Xhaka has made his feelings known.
THE POST THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING
It was late evening when Xhaka’s Instagram story went live. The message was brief. It was pointed. And anyone following the Chelsea transfer saga knew exactly who it was aimed at.
Fans immediately began screenshotting. Within moments the post was circulating across supporter groups including thousands of Sunderland fans watching the saga unfold with growing disbelief. By the time Xhaka deleted it, the damage was already done.
FANS REACT AND THE INTERNET EXPLODES
The moment the screenshot surfaced, social media erupted. Here are the top five fan reactions that captured the mood perfectly:
One supporter with over 12,000 followers wrote:
“He posted it, deleted it, and still broke the internet in 4 minutes. The board need to just let him go.”
Over 4,200 likes within the hour.
A fan account with a huge Sunderland following responded:
“Blocking your own captain from his dream move? That boardroom has lost the plot completely.”
Shared over 800 times before midnight.
One widely followed football page commented:
“Bro deleted the post like we don’t all have screenshots saved Too late Granit, too late.”
Racked up 6,700 likes and counting.
A supporter who claimed to have seen the post live wrote:
“I screenshotted it the second it went up. A 33-year-old man turning 34 in September deserves this move. Let him go.”
The comment was pinned by the page admin.
Perhaps the most shared reaction came from a fan who simply wrote:
“You cannot delete the internet, Granit. Xabi Alonso is waiting. “
Over 9,000 likes and shared across dozens of groups worldwide.
Chelsea’s bid remains firmly on the table. Xhaka wants the move. The Xabi Alonso reunion is calling. But Sunderland’s board continue to dig in blocking a deal their own captain and manager cannot understand.
With Xhaka turning 34 this September, time is not on his side. Tonight’s deleted post has blown this saga wide open and the whole football world is now watching the Stadium of Light for answers.
One thing is certain next time Xhaka posts something, everyone will screenshot it before his finger even reaches delete.
