It is an English monument that will find the Premier League next season. And this “comeback” of Sunderland will not be poor in ambitions. After eight years spent vegetating in the lower divisions, the club in northeast of England returns with the firm intention to settle in the elite. The 238 million euros in endowments related to his promotion should help him in his recruitment project. It is in this perspective that the club chaired by Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, son of the former president of OM Robert Louis-Dreyfus, has already been able to complete the arrival of Habib Diarra.
Very courted this summer, especially on the side of Atlético de Madrid and Leeds, promoted in the Premier League, the Strasbourg midfielder finally made the choice to join Sunderland and his ambitious project. There, he will digitally replace a certain Jobe Bellingham, sold to Dortmund against 30 million euros after a superb championship season (46 games, 5 goals, 4 assists). Note also that Sunderland has already recorded the final arrival of Enzo Le Fée, at the base loaned by Roma last January (the lifting of its purchase option was conditioned on a climb in the Premier League).
A transfer window with already very French accents
Everything suggests that these movements will still be announcing other arrivals in the coming weeks. Arrived this summer after his departure from Roma, the new sports director Florent Ghisolfi already gives very French -speaking accents to his transfer window. In addition to the arrival of Habib Diarra, the old thinking head of Lens and Nice also tried to oversee that of Matteo Guendouzi. The tricolor international (14 selections, 2 goals) would not be completely unknown in land.
He has not only evolved in the Premier League, in this case at Arsenal (2018-2022), but he also knows very well Régis Le Bris, who was none other than his young coach in Lorient. Attractive on paper, it will be necessary to follow if this track goes to the end, like the one leading to Marcin Bulka. Almost assured of leaving Nice this summer, a year from the end of his contract, the Polish porter is currently chatting with the English promoted, even if Neom seems to hold the rope. We would already like to rush to the last page of this Soundland transfer window, but it remains to be written.
