The latest transfer updates for Sunderland feature a new potential defensive target in Michael Parker. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to four possible arrivals and seven potential exits, with the hottest storyline currently surrounding Yassine Titraoui. Below is the latest news on the most important transfer rumours.
Michael Parker
On Wednesday, Laola1.at reported that Sunderland are monitoring Michael Parker. Offers for the player, who is under contract with Örgryte IS, are expected to be between three and five million euros. Sunderland are one of several clubs interested in the 21-year-old English Centre-Back, with Newcastle, Brentford, FC Copenhagen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Sturm Graz, Sporting CP, and RB Salzburg also monitoring him. Parker joined the Swedish club from WBA on February 2, 2026, and his contract expires on December 31, 2028.
Eliezer Mayenda
West Ham United are reportedly considering a move for Sunderland's Eliezer Mayenda as of Wednesday. The Sunderland Echo has revealed that the 21-year-old forward would prefer to leave to find regular first-team football, as he is said to be unhappy with his amount of playing time on Wearside. Sources close to the situation state his preference is based on seeking an opportunity rather than any issue with the club. Sunderland's policy is not to prevent players from leaving if they want to move for their career's benefit. Mayenda's contract runs until 2030 and he would require a significant transfer fee.
Yassine Titraoui
According to reports in France on Wednesday, Sunderland are interested in Yacine Titraoui, however, neither Sunderland nor Marseille have made contact yet. The player wishes to make his decision on his next club after the World Cup. On Monday, journalist Sébastien Vidal also reported Sunderland's interest, mentioning that the club could soon make an offer. A possible transfer fee of 11 million euros is being discussed, with Titraoui said to be attracted by the prospect of moving to the Premier League and the UEFA Europa League.
Milan Aleksić
An agreement with Milan Aleksić is almost complete, according to a B92 report on Tuesday. Some details with Sunderland still need to be finalized, and there is a dispute about whether the purchase option in a move to Partizan will be mandatory. This follows a report from Mozzart sport on Sunday that Aleksić was joining Partizan on a one-year loan, with uncertainty at the time over whether an option to buy would be included.
Nazariy Rusyn
On Tuesday, journalist Mykhailo Spivakovskyi reported that negotiations are underway between Sunderland and Karpaty Lviv regarding a permanent transfer of Nazariy Rusyn. The source indicated that Sunderland is prepared to transfer Rusyn but requires a symbolic fee. A day earlier, on Monday, journalist Igor Burbas had reported that an agreement for the transfer of the 26-year-old forward had already been reached by the Lviv club and that he was expected to join in the summer.
Dan Neil
The latest reports on Dan Neil's future are conflicting. On Tuesday, The Daily Record reported that Rangers could again attempt to sign the midfielder. This came a day after other reports on Monday suggested that the Gers are not interested in the Sunderland player.
Romaine Mundle
On Wednesday, it was reported that Strasbourg has a strong interest in Romaine Mundle, a 23-year-old English winger whose contract at Sunderland expires in 2028.
