Sunderland are in talks to sign the striker for £12m+, the club are “willing” to let him go

Sunderland are in negotiations to sign a contract with the striker this January, and the journalist has now released a key piece of news about the terms of the contract.

Sunderland are chasing a striker

Wilson Isidor, who missed two penalties in the closing stages of the away game at Turf Moor, cost the Black Cats dearly, missing the chance to move into the Priorityautomatic promotional slots.

The forward has since vowed to forget the missed spot-kicks, despite admitting they were very difficult to take, saying: “I would like to apologize to my teammates, all the fans and all the people at this club for what happened.

“I’m really embarrassed, but I promise you I’ll come back stronger from this! See you Tuesday, HWTL.”

regardless, Regis Le Bris is still interested in another forward capable of fighting for a starting spot, and one of the manager’s main targets is Westerlo’s Matija Frigan.

Last week it was announced that Sunderland have agreed personal terms with the forwardwhich means that all that remains is to finalize the transfer contract with the Belgian side.

Germanijak reporter Izak Ante Sučić gave news on how the deal could look like, and on X claims that Westerlo wants Black cats will be required to buy Freeganregardless of whether they achieve their goal of promotion to the Premier League.

The Belgian professional league wants players hoping for promotion to the Championship to collect €15m (£12.6m) if they are promoted or around half that if they stay in the Championship. It is not clear whether Sunderland are willing to agree to such a deal, but talks are currently underway.

A risky move for Sunderland

Signing the Croatian could be seen as a risky move for the Black Cats, as it is not a cheap deal and if he fails to impress in the second half of the season, it will be frustrating to be forced into a permanent move for a fee.

If Le Bris’ side can go all the way and secure promotion, shelling out £13m isn’t the end of the world, given the riches that come with playing in the top flight, but it’s certainly a gamble.

The question now is whether the 21-year-old is a player worth taking a chance on, given that he just scored six goals in 21 games in the Belgian Pro League this season.

However, having missed out on Ben Brereton Diaz and Tom Cannon, Sunderland are short of options, so Le Bris may feel signing Frigan is a risk worth taking.

Football talent hunter Jacek Kulig has compared the younger Ciro Immobile, which suggests he has a lot of potential, but will certainly need to start finding the net more regularly if he completes his move to the Stadium of Light.
