Sunderland Manager Keen to Reunite With Lazio Midfielder.

Sunderland are apparently the latest Premier League club to express interest in Lazio midfielder Matteo Guendouzi.

The Black Cats were promoted to the English top flight after defeating Sheffield United in the Championship playoff final. As a result, the club is now trying to assemble a strong roster capable of avoiding rapid relegation.

Sunderland Interested in Matteo Guendouzi

According to RMC Sport, Sunderland have enquired about Guendouzi, a former student of their manager, Regis Le Bris.

During his stint with Lorient’s U17 team, the midfielder learnt from the 49-year-old tactician. The France international represented Arsenal, Schalke, and Marseille before joining Lazio in the summer of 2023.

Guendouzi will be joined at the Stadium of Light by several compatriots, notably former Roma player Enzo Le Fee and former Giallorossi sporting director Florent Ghisolfi, who recently joined Sunderland. But it remains to be seen whether he will find the initiative appropriate for his goals.
