Selling a talented forward to Sunderland marks a notable financial boost ahead of next season.
Sunderland have confirmed a significant outgoing transfer as they prepare to strengthen their squad for the upcoming campaign. One of their young players has now completed a permanent move to Ligue 1.
Simon Adingra is set to become an AS Monaco player after the two clubs reached a verbal agreement for the French side to activate the purchase option included in his loan deal.
The clause is valued at around €17 million, providing Sunderland with a major financial injection as they continue building toward next season under manager Régis Le Bris.
Renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano also confirmed the development, reporting that Monaco are ready to trigger the €17 million option to sign Adingra permanently.
At present, the deal remains a verbal agreement but is expected to be finalized soon, with visa arrangements and the player’s medical examination currently being completed after he impressed during his time in France.
Adingra joined Monaco in January and even made his UEFA Champions League debut against reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain. According to Transfermarkt, he has already made eight appearances for Monaco, scoring three goals.
His pace and direct attacking style quickly won over Monaco supporters, convincing the club to move forward with a permanent transfer.
With the deal close to completion, Sunderland will now look to reinvest the funds into a new striker capable of fitting into Le Bris’ plans as the club targets a more ambitious campaign next season.
