Sunderland: Larsson Out
After heated negotiations with
Cardiff, it is understood that
Sunderland player,
Sebastian Larsson, will depart the
Stadium of Light for
Wales, with the announcement to be imminent. The midfielder was under intense training since the arrival of the new
Sunderland manager, something, he was not pleased with. The
Swedish international’s contract is up at the end of season, and even though
Poyet is understood to want to keep the player, but with the lack of ‘professionalism’ according to the manager, he is ready to sell the player.

Even though the Uruguayan wanted the Swedish star to stay, he will be pleased with the fee.
With newly promoted
Cardiff City interested, it remains unknown whether both the club and the player himself have agreed on fees, with
Sunderland boss,
Gus Poyet, wanting to take full advantage of
Cardiff's fresh budget, given by their chairman,
Tan Sri.
Malky Mackay, along a few other officials, were seen to be having lunch at Sunderland's midfielder,
Sebastian Larsson, at Paprika.

The Cardiff manager will be happy to finalize negotiations with Sunderland for Larsson.
The player himself was quoted by
The Sun, saying,”I’m unhappy by the way the boss has handled negotiations with
Cardiff.” He continued,”I know that this perhaps could be my last season at the club, with my contract expiring at the season, and I still want to play in the top-flight, and with the starting eleven yet to be decided, I want a first-team role, in order to participate with my national team,
Sweden.” The former
Birmingham player finalized by saying,”Negotiations are back on track with
Cardiff, after the talk I had with the boss earlier this week, so this is my official goodbye for the
Sunderland faithful.”
