Fabrizio Romano has delivered some major transfer news that Sunderland fans won’t be happy about.Confirming Sporting CP’s acquisition of Almeria striker Luis Suarez, Romano disclosed that the Portuguese club will pay €25m for the 27-year-old forward, with Almeria retaining a 10% sell-on clause.With this deal falling through for Sunderland, they will now have to search for alternative options to bolster their attacking lineup.
This setback can be attributed to a ‘domino effect’ triggered by Arsenal’s impending purchase of Viktor Gyokeres.In addition to missing out on Suarez, Sunderland face more challenges in the transfer market, as Gonzalo Garcia looks to extend his contract with Real Madrid and the failed pursuit of Armand Lauriente from Sassuolo adds to their woes.
As Regis Le Bris seeks to strengthen the team’s attack, it’s likely that new rumors will continue to surface in the coming days linking the Black Cats to other potential offensive additions such as Matthis Abline and Evann Guessand.Overall, Sunderland will need to regroup and explore different avenues to enhance their forward options in light of these recent developments.
