Sunderland could be facing a busy summer transfer window, with one player reportedly looking to leave. Wilson Isidor is said to be seeking a move away from the club in the coming weeks.
Isidor’s Frustration at Lack of Play Time
Isidor is reportedly “ready to quit” Sunderland in favour of a move elsewhere, according to a report. The 25-year-old has made 30 appearances in his debut Premier League campaign, scoring five goals. However, he hasn’t started a game for the side since early December.
During his time at Sunderland, Isidor has been described as a “special player”. He was heavily linked with a potential exit in the January transfer window, though a transfer never materialised.
Previous Transfer Interest and Valuation
Sunderland reportedly placed a £25 million asking price on the forward in January. Everton, Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, and Burnley were all reportedly showing interest in a possible transfer. It is unclear whether those clubs will renew their interest this summer. Isidor has two years remaining on his contract.
World Cup Involvement Could Delay Transfer
Isidor’s summer plans may be affected by the upcoming World Cup. He is set to feature at the 2026 World Cup with Haiti. The striker, who was born in Rennes but has Haitian citizenship, made his debut for the national team during the March international break, featuring twice and scoring once for the side.
There is an expectation that Isidor will join up with the Haiti squad for the World Cup. Haiti will compete in Group C, lining up matches against Scotland, Brazil, and Morocco. His involvement in the tournament may delay any exit, especially with a break after his involvement, potentially impacting transfer plans for his current club.
Any move could take some time, however, due to the upcoming World Cup, which may impact plans for both the club and the player.
