Simon Adingra likely to leave Sunderland, Monaco ‘to seek’ new loan amid wider interest | OneFootball

Sunderland are weighing up Simon Adingra’s future this summer, with the winger looking set to leave on a permanent deal amid growing interest.

Foot Mercato reports AS Monaco want another loan after declining their option to buy the 24-year-old at the end of the 2025/26 season. The clubs have close ties through Juan Sartori, who sits on both boards and has family links to Monaco’s ownership.

Monaco’s hopes are complicated by wider suitors and Sunderland’s likely preference for a permanent sale. AS Roma and RB Leipzig, both set for next season’s Champions League, are said to be monitoring developments. Newly-promoted Ipswich Town and Hull City, plus recently relegated West Ham United, also hold an interest.

West Ham have retained Nuno as head coach and are seeking reinforcements after the bumper sale of Mateus Fernandes. Wingers Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville are also expected to attract attention during the window.

Adingra impressed in spells early last season but struggled to secure a regular place under Régis Le Bris. Sunderland must now decide whether to cash in or sanction another loan to rebuild confidence and value.

He is on a summer break after Ivory Coast exited the World Cup at the last 32 stage.
