Sunderland is determined to retain the services of talented youngster Chris Rigg beyond the January transfer window, despite interest from top clubs like Liverpool, Real Madrid, and Borussia Dortmund. The Championship side is hopeful of keeping the midfielder until at least the end of the season, as they push for promotion to the Premier League.
Rigg, who made a name for himself last season, has been a standout player for Sunderland at the start of this campaign. Despite rumors linking him with big-money moves to Manchester United, Crystal Palace, and Liverpool, the Black Cats are determined to hold on to their promising young talent.
With over two years left on his contract, Sunderland is in a strong position to resist any offers that come in for Rigg in January. However, there is a fear that they may struggle to keep him if they fail to secure promotion by the end of the season.
It is crucial for Sunderland to keep Rigg during the January transfer window to boost their chances of returning to the Premier League. Losing him midway through the campaign could deal a major blow to their promotion hopes. By holding on to him, the Black Cats would send a strong message and gain a morale boost for the crucial months ahead. Thus, it is important for Sunderland to position themselves to retain Rigg and avoid selling him in the upcoming transfer window.
