Sunderland’s €35m bid for Serie A striker Soulé as Roma juggle sales

Sunderland are targeting Serie A striker Matias Soulé to fill a striking void after recent departures, with a reported €35 million fee on the table. The move comes as Roma seek to balance sales, PSR pressure and UEFA financial controls, according to reports. Sunderland's interest is framed as a strategic move to strengthen the squad while addressing financial targets. Tony D’Amico, the sporting director, is steering Roma’s summer strategy, working across multiple tracks with departures central to the market. Roma must meet UEFA financial controls, and the €35 million figure would create immediate room to manoeuvre for the Italian club. Matias Soulé is a former Juventus attacker, adding Serie experience to Sunderland’s plans.

Martin Guastadisegno, Soulé’s agent, is in England discussing contract terms with both Sunderland and Fulham, each a Premier League club showing interest. If Sunderland can match the terms, the forward could join the English top flight. Elsewhere, Roma’s stance on Koné remains firm, deeming a €50 million fee insufficient for Gian Piero Gasperini to lose him. Manchester United are linked with Manu Koné after strong displays for France, highlighting the club’s broader transfer challenges.
