It seems that Stoppila Sunzu, the Zambian international playing for TP Mazembe, is attracting interest from English club Sunderland. The club’s manager, Martin O’Neill, has expressed the team’s intention to recruit the 23-year-old defender for the upcoming season, according to information from Sunderland Echo.
It’s mentioned that Sunzu’s potential transfer could involve a fee of around £4 million for TP Mazembe. The defender had a missed transfer opportunity to Reading during the previous transfer window, as the English club was reportedly unaware of the lease contract linking him to Mazembe. Despite passing all tests and completing a traditional medical examination, the transfer did not materialize at that time.
Now, with Sunderland expressing interest, it seems there is a possibility of Stoppila Sunzu making a move to the English club in the upcoming season. Transfers in football can be complex, and the situation with Reading highlights the importance of understanding contractual obligations before completing a transfer deal.
