Sunderland prepares for squad changes ahead of upcoming season

Sunderland AFC is experiencing a significant revamp this summer as several fringe players prepare to leave the club. Leo Hjelde, who had limited impact, is among those likely exiting, along with Abdoullah Ba and Arthur Masuaku. Sunderland is expected to bring in new signings, including a center-back and winger Geny Catamo. Manager Régis Le Bris and sporting director Florent Ghisolfi are looking to build a tighter squad in anticipation of challenges in the Premier League and Europe. The club may part ways with Anthony Patterson, whose future remains uncertain as Sunderland navigates its roster overhaul.
