Napoli and RB Leipzig are following Sunderland's 20-year-old Moroccan and Belgian winger, Chemsdine Talbi. There is also significant interest in the player from England, where Newcastle United and Aston Villa are reportedly keen, and Brighton is said to be monitoring him. Newcastle is reportedly considering Talbi as a potential successor to Anthony Gordon. Sunderland is believed to be seeking a transfer fee of around €50 million for the player, who has performed well since his move from Club Brugge. Reports in March 2026 placed Sunderland's asking price between €45 million and €55 million. His transfer from Club Brugge was completed in July 2025 for a reported fee of €20 million. In the current Premier League season, he has scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in 21 appearances. Talbi has 3 caps for Morocco, is under contract until June 2030 and has a current Transfermarkt valuation of €22.00m.
