Sunderland awaits £50 million: Brobbey’s dream clubs in the spotlight
Sunderland has made it clear that they will only listen to a bid of £50 million for Brian Brobbey. The Dutch striker, who recently scored a hat‑trick against Manchester City, is now attracting the attention of top clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal, according to various British sources.
British media and club interest
Darren Lewis, a British journalist, praised Brobbey after his hat‑trick and called him a “fantastic example of a centre‑forward”. He suggested that Liverpool, as well as Manchester United, could make good use of the striker’s qualities, and added that Arsenal are looking for a new striker. Arsenal’s first option, Kai Havertz, was already injured at the Johan Cruyff Arena, while number two Viktor Gyökeres has not impressed in London.
The Sunderland Echo reported that “The Black Cats” will only listen when a club comes forward with £50 million. A city newspaper confirmed that at least €58 million is needed to start a conversation with the club that returned to the top tier in England last season. Despite this high threshold, the clubs seem eager to pay.
Bayern Munich as an alternative dream club
Turkish reporter Ekrem Konur reported that Bayern Munich was very interested in Brobbey last summer and that the record champions still show interest. The record champions see the Dutch international as a possible backup after Harry Kane. In the half‑hour that Brobbey was fit last Thursday, he was once again a nuisance for Nico Schlotterbeck and especially Jonathan Tah.
“After Harry Kane, they at Bayern Munich see Brobbey as a suitable backup,” Konur said. He described the striker as “another player with the ability to force something in a different way”. A possible move to the Bundesliga would therefore offer an alternative to a top‑Premier League career.
For Sunderland, the price is a crucial negotiating factor, while interest from both Premier League clubs and Bayern Munich underscores Brobbey’s value as an international striker.
