Nazariy Rusyn addresses Sunderland links and outlines contract stance | OneFootball

Nazariy Rusyn has addressed speculation over a Sunderland exit, saying he currently has no specific information about a move. The Ukrainian forward also indicated he could yet see out the final year of his deal.

“I don’t know. I don’t deal with this issue, so I can’t say anything specific right now. I’m currently waiting for the end of my contract with Arka, which ends on June 30,” he told Ukrainian Football. Sport.ua recently claimed Sunderland had agreed a fee with FC Karpaty Lviv.

“Nothing is known. My agent is talking to Sunderland. I don’t have any specific information yet. I only know that I have to be in Sunderland on July 4, because that’s when our training camp starts. So I’m flying to England on July 1.”

Rusyn spent the second half of last season on loan at Polish side Arka Gdynia, scoring four goals. He joined Sunderland from Zorya Luhansk in summer 2023 and has one year left on his contract.

“Yes, of course. I don’t rule it out.”

“But there is a high probability that I will stay in England for a year and complete my contract with Sunderland until the end.”

He added that he has not yet spoken to head coach Régis Le Bris about his prospects.
