Sunderland, a club managed by French technician Régis Le Bris that has recently recruited several former players from the French league, is studying the profile and experience of Geoffrey Kondogbia. A departure for the 33-year-old from Olympique de Marseille is considered highly likely in the coming weeks, following a complicated season where he did not manage to secure a stable place in the team.

As a result, Marseille's management considers that Kondogbia no longer represents the future of their sporting project. The midfielder is valued at 4 million euros, is under contract with the French club until the summer of 2027, and earns an annual salary of 5,450,000 euros. The Central African Republic international, who also holds French citizenship, joined Marseille in July 2023 and has 21 caps and 3 goals for his country.
