Sunderland upgrades to trigger Lefee s mandatory buyout clause, which will buy out players from Roma for 23 million euros

reported on May 25 that after Sunderland successfully advanced to the Premier League through the play-off, they will force a buyout of midfielder Lefee who came on loan from Roma.

In the final of the Championship upgrade playoffs held last night, Sunderland defeated Sheffield United 2-1 away and successfully advanced to the Premier League. According to the previous lease contract, Sunderland will force a buyout of LeFe. Lefe, 25, is a French midfielder and transferred from Rennes to Rome last summer, but has few opportunities to play.

Lefe was loaned to Sunderland by Roma during the winter transfer period. Lefey's contract stipulates that if Sunderland advances to the Premier League, Lefey must be forced to buy out. The buyout fee is 23 million euros, which is the same price as Rome signed Lefytime from Rennes.

Now Sunderland has achieved its upgrade goal, which also means that Lefee will definitely stay in Sunderland. After being loaned to Sunderland, Lefe became an important player in the team. He played 15 times and scored 1 goal and assisted 1 time. In this upgrade play-off final, Lefe also played the whole game.
