Premier league club Cancel the transfer ‘at the last minute’ despite the pre-season tour player

A Premier League club canceled a transfer “at the last minute” despite the fact that the player finished a medical and even flying to join his new teammates.

High -level teams have already been active in the summer transfer window, with 80 incoming transactions already concluded in the fourth week of July.

Among the busiest clubs, Sunderland was newly promoted, which beat Sheffield United 2-1 in the championship qualifiers.

The Régis Le Bris team has already signed six new players, including midfielder Habib Diarra from Strasbourg and the Brighton Simon Adingra winger.

The Black Cats have followed a transfer policy focused on young people in recent years, and this has been largely continued this summer, but with experienced signatures for the implementation of the division.

They had to splash 17.5 million additional sterling pounds on the winger of Sassuolo Armand Lauriente, who broke 18 goals in the Italian series last season.

The 26-year-old Frenchman finished a medical and flew to join his new teammates soon during his pre-season tour in Portugal.

However, Talksport report that there was a “late dispute on some aspects of the contract”.

We do not know which specific elements have caused the disagreement, but it seems to have been sufficient to completely cancel the transfer.

North echo say That Sunderland informed the player, his representatives and Sassuolo that the agreement will no longer occur.

The Black Cats return to the elite for the first time since the 2016/17 season, when they finished at the bottom of the Premier League under David Moyes.

They were relegated to League One a year later, spending four consecutive seasons before winning a promotion via the qualifiers in 2021.

Sunderland was in the running for the championship qualifiers during the 2023/24 campaign, but, after the shock dismissal of Tony Mowbray in December, their shape collapsed and they lost 10 of their last 15 games to finish 16th.

But the new boss Le Bris recovered them on the web last summer and, armed with a host of new signatures, guided Sunderland towards a comfortable finish for fourth place before their success in Wembley.
