Exclusive: Sassuolo leading Fadera race, Lauriente’ looks beyond Sunderland
Sassuolo are leading the race for Alieu Fadera, who is set to leave Como and has two other proposals, while Armand Laurienté is considering Serie A offers after Sunderland talks collapsed.
The Neroverdi are very active with their attacking wingers after promotion to Serie A this summer, having topped the Serie B table last season.
Sassuolo look at Fadera, wait for Laurienté resolution
Laurienté was on his way to Sunderland and the clubs had agreed the transfer fee, but it fell apart when he failed to agree personal terms with the Premier League side.
Now he is evaluating a few other proposals from within Serie A, having already been on the Bologna radar in the past, but is also keeping an eye on potential new opportunities abroad too.
Meanwhile, Sassuolo have over the last few hours surged ahead in the race for Fadera, who is on his way out of Como.
Fadera has two other offers on the table too, but they should be able to get in ahead of the pack.
The 23-year-old Gambia international joined Como from KRC Genk a year ago for €5m plus €1m in add-ons.
He made 28 Serie A appearances, contributing one goal and four assists.
