Author of 19 goals and 6 assists and elected best player in his championship last season, Armand Lauriené was announced on the departure of Sassuolo this summer. Everything had gone very quickly and the Italian press announced an agreement between the Italian club and Sunderland, which wanted to enlist it as a priority. The former Lorient striker was about to sign a 5 -year contract and the amount of the operation was to amount to 20 million euros, not to mention the bonuses.
But at the last minute, the transfer corned. According to information from Sky SportsSunderland made the decision to end the discussions after failing to manage to finalize the details of the deal. The Frenchman had gone to Portugal yesterday to join Sunderland in pre-season and had to sign his contract this weekend. But everything has been canceled and the 26 -year -old French now returns to join Sassuolo. As a reminder and as we announced, Armand Lauriené had other approaches before agreeing with the Black Cats.
