Sunderland and Aston Villa in €32M Premier League Battle for Serie A Midfielder
Sunderland's impressive performance in the Premier League has sparked interest in continued investment for the future. With a squad projected for European competition, the Black Cats are eyeing a key midfield reinforcement.
Rumors swirl around the clubs' interest in 26-year-old Matteo Guendouzi, currently at Lazio.
