Sunderland's £35‑40m offer targets Roma Argentine winger Soulé

Sunderland are preparing an offer for Argentine winger Matias Soulé, the 2003‑born former Frosinone player now at Roma, with the English club reportedly ready to meet the Giallorossi’s €35‑40 million valuation to bring the Premier League‑bound talent to the north of England.

Gian Piero Gasperini has signalled a need for two starting strikers behind Malen, making the Argentine winger a prime candidate to leave the capital. This tactical requirement highlights Soulé as a potential departure target.

Former Roma sporting director Daniele Ghisolfi, now at Sunderland, has identified Soulé as one of his top targets and has already opened discussions for a basic agreement. Ghisolfi’s involvement underscores the seriousness of the pursuit.

Despite a difficult second half of the season marked by groin pain, Soulé has attracted attention from several clubs, with Sunderland leading the list. The Premier League move aligns with Sunderland’s ambition to strengthen their attacking options under Ghisolfi’s guidance.

Roma made it through June 30 without completing any major transfers. Nevertheless, the club’s valuation for Soulé remains fixed at €35‑40 million.

For Sunderland, securing Soulé would add a young, technically gifted winger to complement their forward line. The addition could boost their Premier League campaign.

For Roma, accepting the offer would allow the Giallorossi to recoup value after a quiet transfer window. The deal would provide financial relief without major outgoing business.

Ghisolfi originally brought the Argentine winger to Roma in 2024, underscoring his familiarity with the player. He is now pushing ahead with negotiations and hopes to finalise a deal soon.

The proposed transfer should pose no hurdle for Sunderland, according to the English portal teamtalk.com. Both clubs appear prepared to move forward if terms are met.
