According to the British media Times, Leverkusen midfielder Zachar has reached an agreement with Premier League promoted Sunderland on a transfer, and the pharmaceutical factory is now asking for the player at £15 million.

reported that Zachar and Sunderland reached an agreement on joining, and the Premier League club is currently negotiating transfer fees with Leverkusen. It is reported that the pharmaceutical company hopes to receive about £15 million in transfer fees from Zachar, and Sunderland has previously made a lower offer and has been rejected.

If Zachar returns to England, Sunderland is ready to sign a three-year contract with him. Previously, Saudi Arabia's team Niom and Turkish Super League team Fenerbahce have always been eager to sign the midfielder, but Zacha finally decided to return to the Premier League and play for Sunderland.

Zhaka's agent Jose Noguera said: "We have reached a principled agreement with Sunderland, and Granit wants to return to the Premier League. Sunderland is excited and he wants to meet this challenge. We hope Leverkusen can respect his willingness to leave the team and hope that the clubs can reach an agreement as soon as possible."

Zhaka, 32, transferred from Arsenal to Leverkusen in the summer of 2023 with a transfer fee of £21.4 million. He is one of the key players in the pharmaceutical factory's unbeaten record under the coaching of Xavi Alonso. During the two years he played for Leverkusen, Zachar made a total of 99 appearances and contributed 6 goals and 9 assists.

If Sunderland signs Zachar, it will be another important signing in this busy and ambitious summer window: they have previously signed midfielder Diyala, wingers Adigra and Talbi, full-back Renildo and midfielder Sadiki.

It is reported that signing Zachar is seen as a replacement for Job Bellingham, who played a more back-down defensive midfielder role in the team at the end of last season. After confirming the team's promotion, Bellingham Jr. transferred to Dortmund last month.
