Sunderland Nears Summer Transfers Including AS Roma, Premier League Targets

Sunderland is actively pursuing reinforcements for their Premier League return, with a strong focus on the left-back position. They have identified AS Roma's Angelino as a prime target, with talks suggesting a £17 million fee could secure his transfer, especially as Florent Ghisolfi, Roma's director of football, is poised to join Sunderland and may facilitate the move. Alongside Angelino, Sunderland is exploring signings across multiple positions, including goalkeeper Marcin Bulka and other Premier League players who spent last season out on loan, aiming to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. The club is also interested in Millwall defender Japhet Tanganga, although his release clause applies only to Premier League clubs, with overseas options remaining viable for Millwall. This summer's transfer activity echoes past periods of intense speculation and strategic acquisitions, highlighting Sunderland's ambition to solidify their squad depth and experience as they prepare for their first top-flight campaign since 2017.
