Sunderland midfielder Noah Sadiki is keenly courted by two Premier League heavyweights: Manchester United and Chelsea. The Black Cats have already responded to the Red Devils and Blues in this case.

Having arrived during the last summer transfer window at Sunderland for €17m (£14.5m) from Union Saint-Gilloise, Noah Sadiki is one of this start to the Premier League season's revelations. The Belgian midfielder has played all 15 of the Black Cats' league matches and all as a starter.

Chelsea and Manchester United have taken the lead in the Sadiki case

The 20-year-old player is establishing himself as a nice coup for the promoted English side in the summer transfer window. Inevitably, his performances and potential are already beginning to attract attention. Indeed, a summit duel between Manchester United and Chelsea is expected for this former Lyon favourite in the transfer market.

The two Premier League heavyweights are closely following the Congo international (13 caps) and have already taken action in this case. According to Sacha Tavolieri, the Blues have made contact with Sunderland to know the departure price of their gem, whilst the Red Devils have already approached the midfielder's camp at the start of the season.

Noah Sadiki and Sunderland want to continue together

However, Manchester United and Chelsea have just received bad news in this case. According to TEAMtalk, Sunderland are not at all considering parting with Noah Sadiki in the 2026 transfer market, when he has only just arrived. The main interested party is also not thinking about a departure.

“The young man knows that Sunderland gave him his chance when others were not willing to do so. That is important,” a source close to the English promoted side told the British outlet. Thus, this track seems to be forgotten for the two heavyweights, unless the situation evolves by the end of the season.
