Transfer Rumours The Sunderland Links/Transfer Rumours Thread - Summer 2025

More than trebling the world record though?

 

I hope so

 

Let me ask coz you are making me doubt now

 

I was sort of thinking more like £23m not £230m

 

Invest in Africa was only the biggest based on league position wasn't it?

 

Hahaha imagine someone paying us triple what Real are getting it will be around £25m to £30m per year, I'd imagine

 

I'll take a guess that it's a total of £230 million, but over a multi-year deal.

 

Gambling firms are banned after this year, so can only be a 1 year deal

 

No chance it's 230 in one season man
If that were allowed Saudis would be sponsoring Mags for a billion to get round PSR

 

Never heard of W88 so I googled it - look what came up on wikipedia!

 

Surely the £230 you've heard about is the SKY money rather than a shirt sponsor?

 

Hahahaha we are going nuclear

 

There's definitely a decimal point in there somewhere.

 

£23m would be pretty decent mind!

 

Yeah 100%, I would imagine we will never find out

 

It'll be no where near £23m more likely £10-15m imo

 

Just posted this in the off field thread.

W88 estimate/year

Villa £6m
Palace £6.5m
Fulham £10m
Burnley £7.5m

 

Champion, free cheesy chips first game.

 

Really hope that it is that level, not doubting that is what you've been told mate. Just that it is a huge step up from our previous deals and others publicised elsewhere in Europe.

 

As others have said, 100% profit, and goes on the books immediately. So for example if we sold Patto 10m, that's 10m more we could spend this season. If we signed a 20m player on a 4 year deal, it would be spread over his contract, so cost us 5m per year.

That would mean this year we'd be 5m up in terms of spend, even though we'd have signed someone for twice as much as the sale.
