Sunderland is actively pursuing the signing of Moussa Baradji from Yverdon Sport FC this summer. The midfielder had a standout season with the Swiss club, playing 29 games after leaving Legnago last July. Despite his impressive performance, Baradji is set to depart following Yverdon Sport’s relegation from the top league.

According to reports from Africa Foot, Sunderland is currently in talks to secure the 24-year-old’s services. Régis Le Bris is said to be keen on Baradji’s profile and has already made an approach to the player’s representative. The English club is hopeful of reaching an agreement with the midfielder, but will need to negotiate terms with Yverdon Sport.

With interest from other clubs such as Fiorentina, Parma AC, Torino FC, FC Basel, Galatasaray, and Celtic, Yverdon Sport may struggle to hold onto Baradji. Sunderland is looking to finalize a deal and lead the race in signing the talented midfielder, who has one year left on his contract and is valued at around €3m.
