Target Sunderland Michael Graham claims that Alan Browne is prepared to forego a pay raise in order to join Sunderland. This summer, Sunderland seems to be aiming for more experience.
Being one of the youngest teams in the Championship, the Black Cats experienced some of the problems that comes with it during the previous year.
Even though Sunderland has a ton of talent, they occasionally lack maturity and game management skills. Having an experienced presence on the team to keep things in check was obviously missed in the previous campaign.
Before turning 29 this month, Browne was a Preston North End player for more over 400 appearances. For ten years, the central midfielder was a consistent member of Deepdale’s squad and helped the side score goals and provide assists. Earlier today, the Sunderland Echo reported that negotiations had taken place over Sunderland’s relocation to Browne. Graham has now expanded. According to him, Browne is eager to relocate to the northeast and is prepared to accept a wage decrease in order to sign with Sunderland this summer.
He goes onto say Sunderland are confident of striking a deal and have subsequently scaled back their interest in fellow free agent midfielder Oliver Norwood.
One to watch
With Sunderland seemingly leading the race for Browne and the player also keen on the transfer, this is definitely one to watch for fans this summer.
As things stand, there doesn’t seem to be much reason why this trade won’t go through; Regis Le Bris and Sunderland would benefit greatly from it.
The 29-year-old fits the bill perfectly for what Sunderland are missing. The recent departure of Corry Evans has emphasised the need for more experience this summer and it seems the recruitment team are looking to address those issues.
