Sunderland Secures Reinildo, Faces Multiple Summer Departures

Sunderland is actively engaged in the summer transfer window, having secured left-back Reinildo from Atletico Madrid and winger Talbi from Club Brugge, with both players expected to join the squad imminently. The club is also focused on strengthening further, particularly seeking a goalkeeper, with Chelsea's Djordje Petrovic a target amid competition from other clubs. Sunderland faces potential departures as well; Tottenham is reportedly pursuing Sunderland left-back Dennis Cirkin to boost their homegrown player quota, and several key players including Jobe Bellingham, Tommy Watson, and Amine Aouchiche have already left for clubs like Borussia Dortmund and Brighton. Meanwhile, Chelsea, after a busy transfer period bringing in players like Liam Delap and Joao Pedro, is looking to offload high-wage players such as Ben Chilwell, Joao Felix, and Raheem Sterling to manage finances. Chelsea goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic, initially expected to challenge for the starting spot, is focusing on a permanent move elsewhere after being excluded from the Club World Cup squad. Both clubs are navigating complex transfer strategies involving multiple ins and outs as they prepare for the upcoming season.
