Sunderland are closing in on a loan agreement that will see Simon Adingra join AS Monaco until the end of the season, with the Ligue 1 side holding an option to make the move permanent in the summer. Talks between the clubs are understood to be at an advanced stage, with final details now being ironed out.
The Ivorian forward only arrived on Wearside last summer in a £21 million deal, but has struggled to fully settle, managing just one goal across all competitions. Despite the modest return, Adingra remains highly rated, and Monaco believe a change of environment could help unlock the form that previously made him one of the most exciting wide attackers in Europe.
For Sunderland, the deal represents a chance to rebalance their books, with the loan expected to generate a seven-figure fee and potentially pave the way for a permanent exit at the end of the campaign. If the option is triggered, it would allow the Black Cats to recoup a significant portion of their investment, while Adingra gets the opportunity to revive his career in Ligue 1.
