Sunderland is on a mission this summer, with their latest signing of Armand Lauriente from Sassuolo being just the beginning. The Black Cats are reportedly gearing up to make a fresh offer for another Serie A star, Jhon Lucumi from Bologna.
Lauriente’s arrival, alongside other new faces, signals Sunderland’s determination to make an impact in their return to the Premier League. The French winger’s impressive goal-scoring record from last season bodes well for his adaptation to the English top flight.
With a reported €20m deal already in place for Lauriente, Sunderland’s spending spree shows no signs of slowing down. Reports suggest that a fresh offer of the same amount is being prepared for Lucumi, who could provide stiff competition for a starting spot in Le Bris’ team.
Described as a composed and impressive player, Lucumi’s potential move to Sunderland could see him join a growing list of talented arrivals at the Stadium of Light. With negotiations possibly aided by existing connections with the player’s agency, the Black Cats are looking to build a squad capable of defying the odds and thriving in their return to the Premier League.
As the new season approaches, Sunderland is working tirelessly to ensure that their squad is ready for the challenges ahead. Lucumi’s potential addition could be a crucial step towards solidifying their position in the top flight and achieving their goal of survival.
