Florent Ghisolfi confirms Chemsdine Talbi to stay at Sunderland after Europa League omission | OneFootball

Florent Ghisolfi has confirmed Chemsdine Talbi will remain at Sunderland and will play against Hull City in the Carabao Cup third round.

According to Sunderland Echo, the 21-year-old was a surprise omission from last week’s Europa League squad after interest emerged from markets still open, including strong interest from Saudi Arabia.

Ghisolfi said ongoing talks with clubs meant registering Talbi for Europe risked wasting a slot for eight games if a move happened, describing the call as painful given a shortage of club-trained players.

He added that all parties are content with the outcome, noting that a transfer needs three signatures and that both Sunderland and the player want to continue together.

Ghisolfi highlighted Talbi’s versatility on the left, on the right and behind the striker. He added the defender could be registered for the Europa League knockout stages if Sunderland progress.
