Intercept Huliz United again? Reporter: Sunderland is talking about Nantes striker Abrin and has quoted 20 million pounds

Sunderland frequently made big moves in the summer transfer window, intercepting Huliz's favorite goals one after another. Sunderland is reportedly trying to further thwart Leeds United's plans for the summer transfer window.

After advancing to the Premier League through the playoffs last season, Sunderland showed great ambitions in the market. They signed Habib Diyala for a club record of £30 million, a player Leeds United longed for. In addition, Sunderland also reached a £17.8 million agreement with San Giros to sign Belgian player Noah Sadiki, and Leeds United had also made an offer for the player. Not only that, Sunderland is now hoping to steal another target Nantes striker Mahis Abrin from Leeds United.

According to TBR Football Chief Reporter Graeme Bailey, Sunderland is still working to facilitate the deal, even though their £20 million offer has been rejected. It is understood that Leeds United also expressed interest in Abrin last weekend, but has not yet made a formal offer like Sunderland did. Sources said Sunderland is still in talks with Abrin's representative and is expected to make another new offer. Abrin, 22, is considered one of France's most promising forwards, scoring 11 goals and contributing two assists in 36 games last season.

If Sunderland is able to successfully relegate next season and Leeds United is relegated, many will undoubtedly view this summer transfer window as a critical period. In addition, TBR Football learned that Leeds United originally wanted to sign Atletico Madrid player Leindor Mandava whose contract expired, but Sunderland has completed the signing with the Mozambique international. Not only that, Sunderland is also negotiating with Chelsea on a transfer of Serbian goalkeeper Jorge Petrovic, and Leeds United are also interested in it because Daniel Falke hopes to find a replacement for Elan Meslier. Bournemouth is also discussing Petrovic's transfer with Chelsea.

Initially, Sunderland and Leeds United hoped to sign Maltine Burka from Nice, and the Black Cats had even agreed to pay a transfer fee of £21.6 million, but now Saudi Arabian side Niom seems to be signing the Polish goalkeeper soon.
