Sunderland are considering a move for Roma defender Angelino, as incoming sporting director Florent Ghisolfi looks to bring the Spaniard with him to Wearside from Rome.

Ghisolfi wants Angelino at Sunderland

According to what has been reported by Gazzetta.it, via TMW, Ghisolfi wants to sign Angelino for his new club and there is a real possibility that an offer will arrive at Roma.

The Spanish full-back was linked with Al-Hilal earlier in the month but now Simone Inzaghi’s side look set to complete a deal to sign French left-back Theo Hernandez from Milan.

Roma’s stance on sale of Angelino to Sunderland

Roma’s stance on the sale is clear. The club are looking to make a sale before the end of June, in order to fit in-line with financial rules. If a strong enough offer arrives for the former Leipzig player, they are prepared to accept it – despite an impressive run of form at the end of the 2024-25 season.
