Sunderland, however, are making a statement—having already spent big on Habib Diarra and now reportedly securing a £23 million deal for Club Brugge star Chemsdine Talbi, as they gear up for a serious fight for top-flight survival.

Birmingham City are on the cusp of completing one of the standout transfers of the summer, with Demarai Gray set for a romantic return to St Andrew’s.

Here’s an excerpt from the paraphrased piece:

—

Sunderland’s return to the Premier League is set to spark a major squad overhaul, with up to 15 departures and 10 signings expected in a summer of calculated ambition. A new-look midfield built around Habib Diarra, Dan Neil, and Enzo Le Fée is already taking shape, while top-level experience is arriving in defence with Reinildo Mandava. Though Anthony Patterson is likely to keep his No.1 spot, the club is pushing to bring in competition – possibly Marcin Bulka – as they aim to reinforce every department. With the club targeting young, high-upside talent and offloading fringe players, a leaner, more dynamic Sunderland side could be in place by August – ready to face the top flight with both purpose and a clear plan.

The £30m Statement: Why Sunderland Are All In on Habib Diarra – and What It Spells for Le Bris’ Tactics

June 29, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Habib Diarra’s imminent £30 million move to Sunderland marks a bold statement of intent from the newly-promoted Premier League side. Set to become the club’s most expensive signing, Diarra is expected to replace Jobe Bellingham in midfield—but the data suggests this isn’t just a like-for-like swap. The 20-year-old Senegalese international not only outperformed Bellingham in goals, assists, and key creative metrics last season, but he also did so in a tougher league against stronger opposition. With superior attacking output and a dynamic presence in the final third, Diarra’s arrival signals a shift in Sunderland’s midfield identity under Régis Le Bris—one that could reshape their approach entirely in the top flight.
