Overview
- Sky Sports Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that Manchester United and Chelsea are advancing efforts to sign the DR Congo international.
- Chelsea made a direct enquiry to Sunderland about Sadiki’s valuation immediately after the October 25 match at Stamford Bridge.
- Manchester United previously spoke with the player’s representatives and regard him as a potential alternative to Brighton’s Carlos Baleba if that deal proves too costly.
- Sadiki joined from Union Saint-Gilloise in July for around £15 million and has been a near ever-present, starting about 15 Premier League games this season.
- Sunderland manager Régis Le Bris said outside interest is positive but does not mean Sadiki will leave, and no formal bids have been disclosed.
