Sunderland Plot Club-Record Move for Léo Scienza
Sunderland AFC are showing no signs of slowing down in what has already been a remarkable summer transfer window. Chairman Kyril Louis-Dreyfus has delivered an encouraging update on the club’s recruitment plans, reaffirming the Black Cats’ ambition to strengthen the squad ahead of the new campaign. Reports suggest Sunderland are preparing a sensational £50.8 million bid for Southampton star Léo Scienza, a move that would smash the club’s all-time transfer record. The highly-rated attacker is understood to be weighing his options this summer, with growing uncertainty surrounding his future at St Mary’s. Sunderland believe the Brazilian’s creativity, pace, and attacking quality could transform Régis Le Bris’ side as they aim to establish themselves among England’s elite. While negotiations are still at an early stage, optimism is growing that the Stadium of Light could soon welcome one of the most expensive signings in the club’s history.
