An examination of the most recent rumours and reports around transfers involving Sunderland

According to sources, Sunderland has made an offer of about £4.2 million to recruit Modibo Sagnan, a defender for Montpellier.

The Black Cats are reportedly trying to get the Malian international to leave his present team, who were demoted to Ligue 2 this season, according to Africa Foot. Sagnan, for his part, is reportedly excited about the possibility of participating in the Premier League.

According to reports, the 26-year-old is being courted by a number of European teams this summer. His current employers, who are trying to pay their salaries after dropping to the second division, may decide to let him go. As of right now, Sagnan’s contract in France is scheduled to expire in 2028.

Milan Aleksic may leave on loan in the summer.

 

According to rumors in Serbia, Partizan Belgrade has recently expressed interest in Sunderland star Milan Aleksic; however, the midfield player is reportedly opposed to any such move.

Given that Aleksic previously played a portion of his youth career in the Serbian capital, Mozzart Sport reports that Partizan has recently attempted to convince the adolescent to rejoin the team. However, after his prior experience at the club, the Sunderland prospect is reportedly unimpressed by the proposal.

Aleksic may be loaned out in the upcoming months, according to the source, but it doesn’t appear probable that he will wind up at Partizan at the time of writing. The 19-year-old made nine appearances in all competitions during his first season in England, scoring one goal.

Burnley is attracted to Chris Mepham.

Finally, according to transfer source Graeme Bailey, Burnley may be interested in signing Chris Mepham, a former Sunderland loanee, this summer.

After his temporary contract on Wearside expired this week, the Wales international, who was instrumental in the Black Cats’ promotion campaign, returned to parent club Bournemouth.

Speaking to EFL Analysis, Bailey hinted that the Clarets might also be in the running for the centre-back, who has already been linked to Sunderland and Championship team Sheffield United in a potential permanent move.

“I don’t believe he’s out of the realms of possibility for Sunderland,” he stated. He performed admirably there. Depending on what Bournemouth asks, that is. He is undoubtedly accessible. But Sheffield United would also be a great place to sign him.

“I think he’s going to leave, and the player would like to return to Sunderland, but there’s also the Sheffield United thing.” Right now, I believe it is actually between those two. A Championship team with a significant budget would need to get him because he also earns a good salary.

Or it can be one of the clubs that got promoted. Do we think Burnley will replace him? They have already lost CJ Egan-Riley, and they might have to lose Maxime Esteve. Burnley could still be in the running for that one, in my opinion.
