Sunderland’s rising star, Chris Rigg, is capturing the attention of numerous clubs on the transfer market, with Wolves being the latest team rumored to be interested in securing his services.
Rigg’s impressive performances this season, including 14 appearances and three goals for Sunderland in the Championship, have put him in the spotlight. Despite being withdrawn from international duty with England U19s for rest, the 17-year-old midfielder continues to be heavily sought after by clubs like Manchester United and Real Madrid.
Recent reports suggest that Wolves are eyeing Rigg as a potential addition to their squad, although former player Carlton Palmer believes the price tag could be steep, possibly even reaching £60 million. However, with Sunderland focused on their promotion push, a January transfer for Rigg seems unlikely.
With Manchester United’s transfer priorities shifting under new manager Ruben Amorim, it appears that Rigg may not be on their radar at the moment, providing some relief for Sunderland fans. And while Real Madrid’s attention may also be elsewhere, Rigg’s exceptional talent ensures that any potential sale in the future would come at a high cost due to his importance to the team’s ambitions.
