Man United and Chelsea Step Up Interest in Sunderland’s Noah Sadiki

Sunderland say they do not plan to sell, which suggests only a very high bid would test their stance.

Overview

  • Reports describe Manchester United tracking the 21-year-old closely for a summer move, with Chelsea ramping up their pursuit as they assess options in defensive midfield.
  • Well-placed Sunderland sources say there is no current intention to sanction a sale, signaling that only a significant offer would draw them to the table.
  • Arsenal, Tottenham, and Everton are also credited with interest, with some reports suggesting Arsenal could benefit from the influence of teammate and former Gunner Granit Xhaka.
  • Sadiki joined Sunderland from Union Saint-Gilloise for about £15 million in summer 2025 and has impressed in his first Premier League season as a DR Congo international holding midfielder.
  • No formal bids have been disclosed, so the summer window will show whether this monitoring turns into concrete offers.
