Zhaka: I was very happy in Leverkusen, and I only considered transfer when the time was right.
Leverkusen midfielder Zaka was interviewed by the media and was asked about his future at the club.
Some media said Milan was interested in Zaka, and the players seemed to hint at returning to Basel when attending their brother's team's farewell ceremony.
In response to this, Zhaka said: "I had experienced a major change in Arsenal in 2019... It took a lot of energy. I am no longer 25 years old, I will turn 33 in September this year. Of course, those players who are about to leave or have left are huge losses to the team, no doubt... because they are extremely important to the team. But with Rollfes and Carlo, we will have enough players in the team, which is expected to bring the team back to their original level. As for the team, it is No, it's another question. But as of today, I'm still here. We're so happy, that's the most important thing."
"I haven't played football everywhere, and you certainly think about these things, but as I said, my mind is not on this. I have a family and a brokerage team to handle these things. You only start thinking about it when the time comes and there's a quote on the table. I'll definitely tell you when the transfer time is right."
