Five days prior, we reported on France’s claim that Sunderland is interested in US Sassuolo’s Armand Laurienté.
According to Sassuolo News, the Serie A newcomers are demanding €30m to sell the forward this summer.
Sunderland is eager to secure the 26-year-old’s signature and is actively pursuing a deal, as per Foot Mercato.
Laurienté played a crucial role in Sassuolo’s promotion to the top flight, scoring 19 goals and providing six assists last season.
His impressive performances have caught the attention of several Italian clubs and Premier League teams like Sunderland.
Foot Mercato reveals that discussions between all interested parties, including Sunderland, and Sassuolo are ongoing. However, no agreement has been reached with Laurienté or his current club yet.
Sassuolo remains firm on their demands, while Laurienté is weighing his options. He is considering a move to a new club and must determine his next destination.
Régis Le Bris’ team is eagerly awaiting Laurienté’s decision and if he chooses them, negotiations with Sassuolo will need to be finalized.
