The clubs finally came to an agreement yesterday after weeks of negotiations with €31m to be paid up front and an additional €5m in add-ons. Benteke will hope the move reinvigorates his career after a dominant spell with Aston Villa having struggled with the Reds.
I look forward to getting to know all the fans at @SunderlandAFC and I look forward to sharing great moments with you all

following two stints on Merseyside.

The Colombian’s agent was in London yesterday to discuss another season-long loan switch to the Serie A champs. Cuadrado enjoyed a successful spell in Turin last season, hallmarked by his assist for Alvaro Morata’s
winner against AC Milan in the Copa Italia.
Claudio Bravo is set for a move to Manchester City but the deal will not be completed until a replacement is found. That may not take too long, though, with the La Liga giants reportedly opening talks with Ajax’s Netherlands international Cillessen.
