Dan Neil is increasingly likely to leave the club ahead of next Monday's deadline, with Le Bris admitting after the West Ham defeat that something might happen in the next few days.

Neil wants to complete his contract before choosing his next destination.

According to Sky Germany, other top German clubs are also monitoring Dan Neil's situation.

Enquiries have been made for Sunderland's 24-year-old English midfielder, Dan Neil. His contract is set to expire in the summer, and he has made three appearances this term. Several clubs, including Rangers and Leicester City, have been linked with him. He has been capped three times for England at the U20 level. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €6.50m. It was reported in November 2025 that he would be available for a nominal fee. This is a significant drop from the spring of 2025, when Sunderland were reportedly seeking bids in the range of £15 million to £20 million.
