The Black Cats have made another solid signing for the 2025-26 Premier League season.
Sunderland are continuing to bolster their roster for the next Premier League season, and they have already signed a defender from Atletico Madrid.
No major undertaking can afford to ignore its defenses. This is how Sunderland’s board has read the issue, and they have rolled up their sleeves.
Recently, the Black Cats have been linked with Celtic’s Cameron Carter-Vickers (27), Liverpool’s Joe Gomez (28), and Atletico Madrid’s Reinildo (31).
There is news about the latter, and it is very important news.
Sunderland secure the signing of Atletico Madrid’s Reinildo.
Sunderland have concluded the purchase of Reinildo, according to Fabrizio Romano, who will boost their defense in the 2025-26 Premier League season.
The writer reports that the Mozambican full-back will join the Stadium of Light on a two-year contract, but does not indicate his remuneration in England.
Reinildo to Sunderland, here we come! The left defender expected to come from Atletico Madrid has signed a two-year deal. After a recent investment in Diarra, SAFC wants to strike the correct balance in terms of experience. Ambitious project with one more significant addition.

Romano points out that Sunderland is trying to strike the correct mix in terms of experience. We must remember that just hours before, the Lads signed 21-year-old midfielder Habib Diarra from Ligue 1 club RC Strasbourg.
This demonstrates that the English club’s board is not only interested in signing youthful talent, but also in more experienced players who can mentor the younger players.
According to recent rumors, the left-back was also desired by other Premier League clubs, including Crystal Palace and freshly promoted Leeds United.
However, like with Diarra (who was desired by Leeds and West Ham), Sunderland’s ambition eventually swayed the player.
Reinildo appeared for Atletico Madrid in 30 matches across all competitions in 2024-25, including LaLiga, Copa del Rey, Champions League, and Club World Cup.
