Sunderland have initiated discussions regarding Lloyd Kelly, the 26-year-old English defender who is currently with Juventus, as part of their plan to enhance their defensive lineup. Juventus values Kelly at approximately €18–20 million and is willing to consider selling him to generate funds for their acquisition of French international forward Randal Kolo Muani. Kelly, who joined Juventus on a free transfer in July 2025, has a contract that extends until 2029, and Transfermarkt estimates his market value at €16 million. Although Kelly is satisfied with his situation in Italy and is not actively seeking a move, Sunderland's interest indicates they view him as a significant potential addition to their defense.
