The 21-year-old midfielder, highly rated for his dynamism and ball-winning ability, becomes Sunderland’s most expensive signing ever as the club prepares for life back in the Premier League.
Speaking after the announcement, Diarra said:
“I’ll give everything for this team and fight for these colours in the Premier League!”
This signing signals Sunderland’s ambition to not just survive but compete strongly in the top flight as they continue to reinforce their squad ahead of the 2025/26 season.
