Sunderland bid £25.3m for Gonzalo García
Sunderland reportedly lodged a £25.3 million offer for Real Madrid striker Gonzalo García, according to a different
report from Spanish publication Fichajes.
In addition to honouring a €40 million (£33.7 million) buy-back clause that was originally agreed upon between
Madrid and the player’s representation, the plan contains a 25% sell-on clause. Under Xabi Alonso, García has been
the FIFA Club World Cup’s breakout star and is at the top of the scoring statistics. Sunderland is “making a
significant investment in a player who has already demonstrated he doesn’t weigh down the shirt, even on the most
demanding stages,” according to Fichajes.
Talks held for Sassuolo’s Laurienté
According to L’Équipe, Sunderland has reportedly begun negotiations with Sassuolo for French winger Armand Laurienté.
In 34 games, the 26-year-old scored 19 goals and provided five assists, helping Sassuolo win Serie B and return to the
top division. He is approaching the last year of his contract and was voted Serie B’s Player of the Season. After their
productive time together at Lorient, Sunderland is attempting to reconnect Laurienté with Le Bris for a reported sum
of almost £17 million.
Interest remains in Suárez
Despite increasing competition, Sunderland’s long-standing interest in Almería striker Luis Javier Suárez is still
present. Liverpool, Manchester United, Sporting CP, Juventus, and Atletico Madrid are all showing a lot of interest
in the Colombian forward, who scored 31 goals in 43 games last season.
Portuguese-language retailer According to a Bola story, Sporting has not yet reached Almería’s £21.1 million
estimate. But according to prior reports by Spanish journalist Jose Gomez Perez, Sunderland has already made a bid
that is more than the selling club’s internal appraisal.
El Aynaoui added to midfield watchlist
According to French media, Sunderland is one of the teams pursuing Lens midfielder Neil El Aynaoui. The 24-year-
old has drawn attention with his vivacious box-to-box performances and scored eight goals in Ligue 1 last season.
According to reports, AS Roma submitted a bid of £17 million (€20 million), but Lens is demanding more. Juventus,
Wolves, AC Milan, and Leeds United are reportedly also interested. Ghisolfi knows El Aynaoui from their time
together at Lens, and he has two years left on his contract. It’s estimated that Lens is seeking a package of about £20
million.
