Sunderland has now submitted an offer of “unrealistic” centreback, according to a major update from journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The summer fuss in Sunderland is set to continue
This was an unforgettable summer for the Black Cat, with a total of 11 signatures in total for the Championship Promotions last season.
Granite Zaka is undoubtedly the most notable, as the Swiss arrived from Bayer Leberkusen and soon became Sunderland’s captain, helping him beat West Ham 3-0 in the Premier League opener on Saturday afternoon.
Habib Diarra and Simon Adingra have come as two of the most expensive additions of the Black Cats summer, but are also joining from Strasbourg and Brighton, respectively, to enhance Regis Luburi’s mid-range and wide range of options.
The early signs are certainly good signs for Sunderland, and in terms of their new signature, they will ensure they will return straight to the championship and avoid relegation, but their business may not be done there.

Sunderland submits “unrealistic” centreback bid
Now Romano took it x Sunderland claims he has filed the offer from Bologna centre-back John Lukumi as the summer of spending continues. He wants to seal his move to the club.
Rukumi, an experienced 27-year-old head, has actually risen to the stars over the past few seasons, bringing a high level of talent and physical control to Luburi’s backline, and may be exactly what happens after the Black Cat.
He is 29 cap Columbia International, which is not a feat. You might like the idea of testing yourself in the Premier League after 94 appearances in Serie A.
Lukumi was once supported by scout Jace Krig to become a “great” centre-back, but journalist Ethan Todd described him as “unrealistic” earlier this summer.
The Colombians will be Sunderland’s 12th permanent signature of the summer, assuming their contracts have passed, as they move from strength to strength in their efforts to maintain their Premier League teams beyond this season.
