Meanwhile, Romaine Mundle is also in contract discussions after an impressive finish to the 2024-25 season. The 22-year-old winger, signed from Standard Liège last year, has drawn interest from PSV Eindhoven, according to Sky Sports, prompting Sunderland to act quickly to protect their investment and avoid losing the player abroad. Mundle’s pace and creativity made him a standout last season when not injured, and Le Bris sees him as a key part of Sunderland’s attacking unit in the top flight. Talks over a fresh deal are understood to be at an early stage, but both parties are hopeful of reaching an agreement. Speakman has also confirmed that contract talks are ongoing with Dan Neil and Dennis Cirkin, both of whom are entering the final two years of their current deals. The pair have been integral to Sunderland’s rise from the Championship and are viewed as vital to the club’s Premier League plans. “It's a constant piece of work,” Speakman said. “You always want to protect value, but also reward players for performance and progression. It’s something we’re working on.” Securing the futures of all four would send a clear message about the club’s ambition and its commitment to building around young, high-upside talent. But with rival interest circling and financial discipline still necessary under the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules, Speakman’s ability to strike the right balance will be closely watched over the coming weeks.
Monaco must be an amazing place to live but surely Mundle wouldnt want to miss out playing in the Premiership?
there are 50 days of the window left we still have few fringe players to leave and get the 8-9 in when they say we wanted some more in before portugal, but that is for the first game, we have 3 days to anounce new players before the first game on Saturday, most deals dont get done until towards the end of the window,
Dont really see Dutch teams taking our better players personally. In the Champions League but think we could have financial advantages and obviously premier league football. Mundle will sign a new deal imo.
probs me saying the same thing, every window its starts off slow, "targets" become available when the selling club gets their player in, once that happens its a domino effect. every window this happens. even the Winter Transfer window. doesnt matter which club or who they are after, transfers dont happen just like, its not FIFA** or FM.
If we’ve got 8-9 more coming in we need to shift more than a few mind. I’d say we need to shed upwards of 10 from the Portugal list alone. Every new name incoming means another existing player to find a new home for
