SunderlandThe team is attracting strong interest from Europe as one club enters talks with one member Regis Lebris‘ side.
The Black Cats endured a typically quiet January transfer window, prioritizing squad stability over aggressive recruitment while sanctioning the emotional departure of club legend Dan Neal.
Sunderland entered the window determined to give their 14 summer signings time to settle, with manager LeBlis making it clear that only exceptional opportunities will promote activity.
This conservative approach reflects Sunderland’s historical reluctance to undertake significant January business, with Enzo Le Fay’s acquisition last year being a rare exception.
They did complete a £3.5m deal for Ivory Coast star Jocelin Ta Bi earlier in the transfer window. Hijacking the CelticsBut the young winger is unlikely to be seen as a major upgrade to the first-team squad.
Neil’s 18-year association with his boyhood club came to an end and he joined Ipswich Town on loan until his contract expired in June.
The 24-year-old former captain made 201 appearances and led Sunderland back to the Premier League Premier League With last season’s playoff success behind him, Granit Xhaka found his opportunities limited upon arriving in the summer.
The Swiss international has filled both Neil’s midfield position and captaincy, with the South Shields man making just three substitute appearances this season and playing less than 10 minutes in total.
Neil’s departure is the biggest news of the Sunderland transfer window so far, but Veteran left back Arthur Masuaku leaves French side RC Lens Complete senior separation list.
The 32-year-old has struggled for game time after joining on a free transfer last summer, making a loan move sensible for all parties.
Although there are reports that Sunderland in talks for Borussia Monchengladbach’s Jonas Omlingthe deal has yet to materialize and we are more likely to see another exit at the Stadium of Light.
Wilson Isidore considered to be arouse strong interestTurkish Super League side Besiktas have now added him to their own list of Premier League targets.
Besiktas open talks with Wilson Isidor over Sunderland exit
According to reliable French journalists Santi OnaBesiktas went a step further and started negotiations with Isidore, who they hope to bring in forward Jean-Rickner Bellegarde, Tomas Soucek and Alphonse Areola.
Sergen Yarsin’s side are apparently targeting all four players in the Premier League, with discussions starting when they made contact with all of the aforementioned players.
LeBrice’s team clearly want to leave £25 million For Isidore, however, his departure would put them at serious risk if he leaves Everton this month.
The 25-year-old has four goals in 22 games this season, which may be a modest return, but his value goes beyond statistics.
Isido played a vital role in last season’s playoff victory, scoring a stunning first goal against Coventry City to set the tone for Sunderland’s promotion.
His ability to create moments of brilliance — highlight-reel goals that few teammates possess — gives LeBris an asset that cannot be sacrificed midway through the season.
Unless Sunderland have access to significant funds that can be reinvested immediately, sanctioning Isidor’s departure would be a major gamble.
