"Sunderland have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Al Ittihad forward and former Aston Villa star Moussa Diaby this January. However, the Frenchman is said to have already turned down the move as he's seemingly not in a hurry to leave the Saudi Pro League to come back to the English Premier League. Diaby had one season at Villa Park and did quite well, though they ultimately decided to cash in on him when the big money from Saudi came in."
"Sunderland have done well in the first half of the season and can now surely relax about avoiding relegation back to the Championship. However, the Black Cats might want to start planning ahead for next season already, as it surely will be a challenge to stay up again. Sunderland have surprised a few people this term, but that could mean that both their players and manager Regis Le Bris will be in demand in the summer."
Sunderland were offered the chance to sign Al Ittihad forward and former Aston Villa star Moussa Diaby in January. Diaby has turned down the move and is not in a hurry to leave the Saudi Pro League to return to the English Premier League. Diaby spent one season at Villa Park and performed well, but Villa sold him when Saudi clubs paid large fees. Sunderland have performed well in the first half of the season and can relax about avoiding relegation this term. Sunderland may need to plan for next season as retaining Premier League status will be challenging, and Diaby would have offered immediate quality and longer-term value.
