Sunderland winger Simon Adingra is on the verge of a loan move to Monaco. The 24-year-old is set to undergo a medical examination in London as part of the agreement between the two clubs. The loan agreement will last until the end of the current season and includes a substantial fee exceeding £1 million.
Details of the Loan Agreement
Adingra transitioned to Sunderland from Brighton during the summer transfer window. However, he has started only nine Premier League matches this season under manager Regis Le Bris. Seeking more playing time, the talented winger views the move to Monaco as a beneficial opportunity for his career.
Benefits of the Move
- Short-term loan until the end of the season.
- Financially advantageous for Sunderland.
- Increased playing time for Adingra in Ligue 1.
Despite being under contract with Sunderland until 2030, Adingra will temporarily join Monaco. The move comes as he is not presently part of Le Bris’ plans, with players such as Romaine Mundle and Chemsdine Talbi preferred in the starting lineup.
Other Club Interests
While Monaco is finalizing this deal, other clubs have also shown interest in Adingra during the January transfer window. However, Porto has yet to secure a successful arrangement.
Sunderland’s Plans
Even as he prepares for his move, Adingra remains a valued player at Sunderland. The club is considering alternatives to strengthen their squad, including efforts to acquire Tyrique George from Chelsea. However, George is currently undergoing a medical with Everton, complicating Sunderland’s plans.
Should Adingra pass his medical checks in London, he will finalize his move to Monaco promptly. Sunderland aims to ensure that Adingra’s loan enhances his development while exploring new opportunities for their roster.
