Sunderland appointing QPR manager Marti Cifuentes could improve their chances in signing this Championship star.
Sunderland have been without a manager since the sacking of Michael Beale back in February, but options are still being considered ahead of the new season in bringing in a new boss.
Despite it being reported that a six-figure fee would be required to bring him to the club, QPR manager Marti Cifuentes remains one of the top options for Sunderland.
After a successful job steering the R’s to safety in the 2023/24 campaign, the Spanish coach has touted the interest of the Sunderland owners.
The potential appointment of Cifuentes is an exciting one for Sunderland fans and may even help bring in one of their reported summer transfer targets, one who could transform their sub-par attacking output from last season.
Sunderland linked with Chris Willock at QPR
26-year-old Chris Willock could be a perfect addition to Sunderland’s ranks, with the winger set to become a free agent.
The attacker would be quite a coup for the Black Cats, having registered 44 goal contributions in 154 Championship games over the past few seasons, despite being hampered with injuries.
