Sunderland have their eyes on a move to sign a “terrifying” £50m+ star after picking up Chelsea forward Marc Guiu on a season-long loan.
Sunderland signing Marc Guiu on loan from Chelsea
The Black Cats have been extremely busy in the transfer market ahead of their Premier League return, spending more than £125m on eight new players.
| Incomings | From | Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Habib Diarra | Strasbourg | £30.5m |
| Simon Adingra | Brighton | £21m |
| Enzo Le Fee | Roma | £19.4m |
| Noah Sadiki | Union Saint-Gilloise | £15m |
| Granit Xhaka | Bayer Leverkusen | £13m |
| Reinildo Mandava | Atletico Madrid | Free |
| Chemsdine Talbi | Club Brugge | £18m |
| Robin Roefs | NEC Nijmegen | £9m |
Eight will soon become nine as well, with Guiu arriving in the North East on Sunday afternoon to seal his move to the Stadium of Light for the 2025/26 season.
Guiu will therefore rival Wilson Isidor and playoff final scorer Eliezer Mayenda for a starting centre-forward spot in Regis Le Bris’ side, with Sunderland’s first game against West Ham United on Saturday August 16.

After the 19-year-old, though, Sunderland are looking to bolster their attacking ranks even further and are now being linked with an ambitious move for another Bundesliga star after landing Granit Xhaka.
Sunderland keen on £50m+ Lois Openda
According to Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg on Saturday, Sunderland are showing an interest in RB Leipzig striker Lois Openda.
However, with Leipzig stars Xavi Simons and Benjamin Sesko also linked with moves to the Premier League, it could be a tricky deal to persuade the Bundesliga side to sell.
