Sunderland Smash Transfer Record with £30m Agreement for Habib Diarra
- Sunderland agreed to sign Habib Diarra, a 21-year-old midfielder and captain from RC Strasbourg, in a £35.5 million deal including add-ons.
- The transfer follows Sunderland's need to replace Jobe Bellingham, sold to Borussia Dortmund for £33 million, and Strasbourg's willingness to sell Diarra for a record fee.
- Sunderland outbid Leeds United, whose £22 million offer was rejected, as the Black Cats swiftly finalized paperwork and booked Diarra's medical ahead of a likely five-year contract.
- Strasbourg president Marc Keller confirmed Diarra could leave if a suitable offer was made, adding that the player agreed to stay until June 2025 but could depart earlier for the right deal.
- This signing marks Sunderland's second record-breaking transfer this summer and signals their ambition to strengthen after Premier League promotion.
