Negotiations are in full swing between Montpellier and Blackburn Rovers for the transfer of Modibo Sagnan, the 26-year-old Malian central defender.
After a difficult season that saw MHSC relegated to Ligue 2, Sagnan—under contract until 2028—has caught the attention of the Championship club, which is aiming to strengthen its defense in pursuit of promotion to the Premier League.
However, Sunderland, newly promoted to the Premier League, has now entered the race and is showing strong interest in the player.
With his experience across several European leagues, Sagnan is seen as an attractive option for the Black Cats, who are looking to bolster their squad ahead of their return to the top flight. The battle for his signature is expected to be intense, reports Africa Top Sports.
