Nazariy Rusyn 'to join' Karpaty Lviv after reported fee agreement | OneFootball

Nazariy Rusyn is closing in on a permanent Sunderland exit, with Sport.ua reporting that a fee has been agreed with Karpaty Lviv and that a deal could be finalised in the coming days.

The forward still has one year left on his contract and must reach an agreement with Sunderland before any move is completed. The club are likely to take a loss on the fee paid to Zorya Luhansk in summer 2023.

Rusyn struggled for regular first-team minutes, then joined Polish top-flight side Arka Gdynia in January and scored four goals in the second half of the season.

Any fee would help limit the loss from an SCR perspective, with profit or loss measured against a player's book value at sale and averaged across three years.

It would also mark progress in director of football Florent Ghisolfi's effort to trim the wage bill and move on players unlikely to feature in Régis Le Bris's plans. Milan Aleksić last week joined Partizan Belgrade on an initial loan, with an option to make the deal permanent next summer for a fee reportedly around £1,000,000.

Harrison Jones has also left permanently for League One side Peterborough United. Several players are due back from loans for pre-season, including Arthur Masuaku, Jenson Seelt, Timothée Pembélé, Simon Adingra, Alan Browne, Leo Hjelde and Aji Alese. Anthony Patterson is expected to depart this summer after his loan at Millwall and there is significant interest in his signature.
