Even though Edouard Michut was on the verge of completing a switch from Paris Saint Germain to Sunderland, the transfer is now said to be stuck.
Outlets such as L’Equipe and Le Parisien report that a ‘last-minute hitch’ has stopped the move from being completed.
The clubs had reportedly agreed a loan move, which the Black Cats would have had an option to make permanent for €5m. The process was so advanced that at the weekend, Michut travelled to England and passed his medical with the Championship side.
However, once the problem arose, the player took a flight back to Paris ‘in the last few hours’. Le Parisien make it clear that the move isn’t completely ruled out for now, but there’s clearly a serious issue stopping it from being completed.
With a couple days until the end of the transfer window, Sunderland now have little time to sort out that issue.
