Sunderland is interested in signing Mali International Modibo Sagnan de Montpellier during the summer transfer window.
According to an AfricaFoot report, the player wants to participate in the Premier League and he wants to join a big club after the relegation of Montpellier last season.
The report also claims that Sunderland submitted an offer of 5 million euros to sign the 26 -year -old central defender. However, they will also face competition from Leeds United.
It will be interesting to see if Sunderland can convince the player to join them.
Sunderland needs a defender
Sunderland obtained a promotion at the Premier League alongside Leeds United and Burnley. They will have to improve the team if they want to settle as regulars of the Premier League. They will not want to go down next season.
They must improve defensively and that 26 years could be the ideal acquisition. He has an imposing presence and physicity to do well in English football. It would be a huge opportunity for him, and he remains to be seen where he finds himself.
Leeds eager for Modibo Sagnan
Leeds United could also be an attractive destination for the player. They are one of the largest clubs in the country, and they will seek to establish themselves as high -level regulars next season. It remains to be seen if they present an offer of diversion from its move to Sunderland. They have the resources to conclude the agreement.
It will be interesting to see how the situation is developing.
Montpellier will have to reduce his bill on wages after relegation, and they will certainly host a 26 -year -old central defender for the central defender so that they can recover as much as possible for him.
To convince the player to join the club will not be difficult for any of the two clubs. It remains to be seen which of them can agree on a few with his club.
