Sunderland fail in initial move for Sassuolo’s Armand Lauriente

Newly promoted Serie A side Sassuolo are facing the possibility of losing Armand Lauriente and Sunderland have come forward for him.

La Gazzetta dello Sport have reported that the Frenchman is a target for the Black Cats and Sunderland had submitted an offer in recent days for the star winger, who impressed in the Serie B during the 2024/25 season.

But talks have now been stalled as the offer has been rejected. Sassuolo are yet to set a definitive price tag and this is causing problems to Sunderland in their move.

The Neroverdi are waiting for the newly promoted Premier League side to make a new approach, as they seem interested in a sale if the right offer is made.

Lauriente has starred in the Serie A in the past and has previously worked under Sunderland manager Regis le Bris and sporting director Florent Ghisolfi during his time at Lorient.
