Sunderland Tie Down Enzo Le Fée With Five-Year Contract

The long-term deal signals the club wants to keep its creative core as it prepares for simultaneous Premier League and Europa League campaigns.

Overview

  • Sunderland confirmed on Wednesday that Enzo Le Fée has signed a new contract that runs through the summer of 2031.
  • Le Fée first arrived on Wearside on loan from AS Roma in January 2025 and became a permanent signing the following summer under a reported £19m purchase obligation.
  • The midfielder has been a primary creator for the team, recording double-figure goal involvements since 2025 and scoring Sunderland’s first European goal in more than five decades in their Europa League opener this month.
  • Both Le Fée and director of football Florent Ghisolfi framed the extension as a mutual commitment to progress, with the player saying the deal is 'just the beginning' of his time at the club.
  • Sunderland now face a cascade of squad decisions, with local coverage highlighting the need to resolve other contracts—notably left-back Reinildo—to protect squad depth across league and European fixtures.
