Sassuolo have Lauriente problem with Fenerbahce and Sunderland offers | OneFootball

Sassuolo are still trying to sell Armand Laurienté, but after talks with Sunderland fell apart, they are struggling to agree terms with Fenerbahce too.

The attacking winger is not part of their plans for the new season after promotion into Serie A and he too is eager for a new challenge.

An agreement had been reached with Sunderland to sell for circa €20m, but then he turned down the move after negotiations for personal terms collapsed.

According to Calciomercato.com, there had been an offer from Fenerbahce worth €15m including add-ons, but Sassuolo are holding out for the same sum that they had accepted from Sunderland.

The Neroverdi know they have to sell for a large sum, because they still owe 20 per cent of the profits to his former club FC Lorient.

Laurienté was purchased for €10.10m plus €2m in add-ons in the summer of 2022.

Other clubs to have been linked with him are Napoli and Bologna within Serie A.
