Sunderland are in talks with Romaine Mundle about signing a new contract, in part to put to bed any notion of him joining PSV Eindhoven.

The Dutch club will consider a move for Mundle if they lose winger Johan Bakayoko - a target for Nottingham Forest, Borussia Dortmund and Monaco - which is on the cards this summer.

Mundle - predominantly a left-winger who also plays on the right - sees his current Sunderland deal expiring in 2028, and the club are in the process of bringing in a second new winger this week.

Simon Adingra is on Wearside having a medical ahead of joining for just over £20m from Brighton, after Chemsdine Talbi joined from Club Brugge for a similar fee.

Mundle was a key part of Sunderland's promotion campaign back to the Premier League last season despite spending a sizeable portion out with injury, scoring five goals in 24 appearances, which has put him on the radar of a number of other clubs across Europe.

He would have been viewed as a threat to Dan neill, current captain so them acting quick and shutting it down doesn’t surprise me if they really want to retain neill….nice little boost to the ego for him and shows how much they want to keep him

I doubt it would be seen as a threat to Neil. I think Neil probably idolises Hendo and would have welcomed the opportunity to learn from his experience.

Great teams need many leaders.

Yeah this is the L’Equipe article


Valentin Rongier returned to La Commanderie on Tuesday, like most of his teammates. All or almost all since the internationals benefit from a few extra days of vacation and others, the six undesirable (Faris Moumbagna, Ismaël Koné, Azzedine Ounahi, Bamo Méïté, Ruben Blanco and Simon Ngapandouetnbu), were sent to train in a separate group, the Pro 2, the reserve team of the Olympic club (N3) headed by Romain Ferrier.

The 30-year-old midfielder has not been sidelined, but he knows the uncertain future at OM where the statutes guarantee nothing, former executives Chancel Mbemba or Jordan Veretout can testify to this. His position also seems weakened when he has officially entered his last year of contract, a situation that Marseille leaders abhor. They had publicly communicated their desire to extend it at the beginning of the year after he returned to competition and regained his place in Roberto De Zerbi's starting eleven.

The Italian technician had also pushed in this direction, convinced by this player "who restores order in the team", as he has often repeated over the past few months. But there have never really been any negotiations for an extension, in fact. After a first proposal made at the end of February - two more years, until 2028, at the same salary - and rejected by Rongier who kept the door of the discussions open, radio silence settled between the two parties.

The executives have set its price at €10 million

The positions are actually very (too much?) Distant about the player's remuneration, even if this point has never been officially addressed: the Olympic management believes that the midfielder is sufficiently well paid - with 330,000 euros gross per month, he is in the top 10 of the club's salaries - and the interested party would like to get closer to the income of his (former) competitors in his position, namely Geoffrey Kondogbia or Ismaël Bennacer, loaned by AC Milan in January with 450,000 euros gross per month, while he won in De Zerbi's typical team. Despite rumours that have appeared in recent weeks, Rongier has, on the other hand, never asked to be aligned with the emoluments of Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg or Adrien Rabiot.

But the question of remuneration seems to have become incidental: to some clubs that have inquired in recent days, the OM leaders replied that Rongier was well placed on the transfer market, an obvious thing given his contractual situation. And they set the price of his departure: €10 million. See you soon 31 years old, he will celebrate them at the end of the year, Rongier could therefore live his last moments at OM where he is still the oldest player in the workforce. Some clubs, such as Sunderland, through its new French sports director, Florent Ghisolfi, and Côme, in Italy, came forward to find out about the conditions of a transfer without making a concrete offer. The countdown is on.

The countdown is on for us to leave the room...if we were ever in it. No way are we paying that for another midfielder,let alone at 31yrs old.

I am really excited to see how much impact Cutler has on Patterson personally. Bringing in a coach like him lessens the need for an uprgade of marginal levels imo. If we can get a big upgrade for value fair enough. Otherwise let the coach do his job and make Patto better.

I’m really not feeling Patterson. Positive about the coach of course and looking forward to see his impact, but when teams like Hull are coming to our ground and targeting him as our weakness on crosses and with his feet , imagine what the likes of Cole Palmer and Haaland will do. We need someone assured across the board. He definitely has his pluses, ie stopping shots but I’m not sure he’ll ever be a natural at distribution

I think sorting the crosses stuff out it possible. But that also needs your defenders to be blocking their runners etc so there is space to come and claim. Distribution harder and longer to improve. The goalies who are best at that often have some form of futsal background.

Strange one Patto think he’s becoming underrated since the links to other keepers, wouldn’t be gutted if he started the season but like any position if the chance to significantly improve on someone arises we should take it
