Strasbourg midfielder Habib Diarra is close to moving to Sunderland. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to Sky Sports, the English club has reached an agreement for the player's transfer and is ready to pay £27 million. Additionally, there are bonuses worth three million included.
This deal is the most expensive transfer in Sunderland's history. The French midfielder Diarra is seen as a replacement for Jude Bellingham.
Bellingham had previously moved to Borussia Dortmund. Last season, Diarra played 33 matches for Strasbourg, scoring four goals and providing five assists. Sunderland finished fourth in the Championship last season, securing a spot in the Premier League through the playoffs.
This transfer is expected to help the team remain highly competitive and is anticipated to drive them towards significant future successes. Football fans are eagerly awaiting to see what results Diarra will achieve with his new team.
