Sunderland have offered Reinildo Mandava a two-year contract worth £65k a week following the Mozambique left-back's release by Atletico Madrid.

According to The Guardian...

"The 31-year-old left-back, who recently played in the Club World Cup for Atlético, has spent the past three and a half years with the La Liga side but did not renew his contract beyond the conclusion of the tournament in the US. While in the Spanish capital, Reinildo was often the second-choice left-back, making 74 league appearances during his time after joining in 2022 from Lille."
