According to Fabrizio Romano, Sunderland has secured a major breakthrough during the summer transfer period, reaching a deal to sign RC Strasbourg’s highly rated midfielder Habibdiara in a deal worth 35.5 million euros.
The Black Cats are moving crucially to land Senegal International, and the club has finalized the conditions to bring the talented midfielder to the Stadium of Light.
The deal presents a key statement of intent from Sunderland, who is trying to strengthen their teams in preparation for an exciting Premier League season.
Habib Diara is approaching Sunderland’s movement
The 21-year-old Diala enjoyed a strong campaign in League One, making 30 appearances for Strasbourg last season, scoring four goals and providing five assists.
The player is keen to travel to England and his favorite destination as the Premier League is about to continue developing in one of the biggest stages of football.
The Sunderland project focuses on youth development and attractive playing styles under Rosenia, and is considered an important factor in choosing black cats over rival interests.
After losing Job Bellingham to Borussia Dortmund this summer, Sunderland needed a midfielder with a similar profile to replace the British midfielder.
They were able to do just that by making the move for Diala, a young player with the potential to grow even further.
Premier League clubs were enthusiastic about Diarra
Dearra’s move is expected to be completed quickly, and players will receive medical care in the coming days before it is announced as Sunderland’s latest signature.
Interest in Habib Diala has risen this summer, with Premier League clubs Brighton, Nottingham Forest, Leeds United and Aston Villa all expressing their strong desire to secure the signatures of talented midfielders.
However, despite this fierce competition, Sunderland won the Senegal International race and moved quickly to sign RC Strasbourg.
