Sunderland have completed the signing of Habib Diarra from RC Strasbourg and continue to keep an eye on the French market. Florent Ghisolfi was officially appointed on Wednesday and to say he’s hit the ground running would be an understatement.
The Black Cats have OGC Nice’s Melvin Bard on their agenda and are keen on signing him this summer. That’s according to RMC Sport, and they state Sunderland have made a contractual offer to the left-back.
Their proposal includes a four-year contract with an option for another year, but the two parties haven’t found an agreement yet. The report states ‘negotiations are underway’ between the Frenchman and Régis Le Bris’ side.
As well as Sunderland, two other Premier League sides are also showing interest in the fullback, without revealing their details.
The Premier League newcomers had shown keen interest in a move for Nice goalkeeper Marcin Bułka.
Sunderland negotiated with the French club for the 25-year-old, but he won’t be moving to the Stadium of Light. The Pole is close to sealing a move to Saudi Arabian side, Neom SC
