Simon Adingra ended his three-year spell at Brighton & Hove Albion to join Sunderland in July 2025.
The Ivory Coast international has played 648 minutes from 14 league matches for the Black Cats. Adingra was under Régis Le Bris’ orders throughout the season as he didn’t make it to AFCON.
He still ended up making just nine Premier League starts for Sunderland, managing a goal and an assist. This hasn’t put off other clubs from showing interest in him.
On January 9th, we covered claims from Italy that Juventus have included the winger in their shortlist. The Turin club aren’t alone as ‘there’s a lot of interest’ in him. That’s what Media Foot in France are now reporting.
According to their information, AS Monaco have come forward to try and sign him, late in the winter market.
Last week, Monaco had to settle for a goalless draw against Juventus in the Champions League. The point helped them finish 21st in the table and eventually making it to the play-off qualifiers.
Media Foot now state the Ligue 1 side recently made an approach to sign the 24-year-old. It isn’t specified whether Monaco contacted his representatives, the English club or both.
In addition to Monaco, the Sunderland player is attracting ‘very strong interest’ from Saudi Arabia. The outlet hasn’t provided the details of the club[s] that are keen on taking him away from the Stadium of Light.
According to Media Foot, it ‘wouldn’t be surprising’ if Le Bris’ side receive an offer from a Middle East club. In short, Sunderland have been warned about the possibility of losing Adingra quickly.
