Sunderland is seeking to bolster its attacking lineup with the potential signing of Matías Soulé from AS Roma. The club has initiated discussions regarding a possible transfer for the 23-year-old Argentina international. Sunderland's impressive Premier League campaign last year has earned them a spot in European football for the upcoming season, and they are looking to enhance their team's quality.
The acquisition of Soulé is considered a priority for Sunderland this summer, and it remains to be seen whether they can successfully complete the deal. Sunderland's sporting director, who previously signed Soulé for Roma, is looking to reunite with the player. Initial contact has been made with the player's representatives, and Soulé is reportedly open to joining Sunderland.
Roma, however, will not relinquish Soulé without a fight, as he has been a key player for the club. Sunderland will likely need to pay a significant amount to secure the transfer. Reports suggest that the player's price tag could be around £30 million, and it is uncertain whether Sunderland is willing to meet this demand.
Soulé is a versatile attacker capable of operating across the front three, creating opportunities for his teammates, and scoring goals. At 23 years old, he still has significant potential for growth, and regular football in England could help him reach his full potential. Since joining Roma, Soulé has accumulated 12 goals and 13 assists in 81 matches.
