Methalie fails medical at Sunderland
Toulouse defender Dayann Methalie did not pass the medical examination at the English club and will need further tests.
Dayann Methalie's transfer to Sunderland has hit a major stumbling block. According to L'Équipe, the 19-year-old Toulouse defender failed his medical at the Premier League side during his time in England. A source told the outlet that "there is something that doesn't add up."
The deal in limbo
This medical setback has left the transfer in doubt. Doctors at Sunderland have requested additional tests, so Methalie has returned to France while the situation is resolved. Just days earlier, Toulouse had rejected a €33 million offer from the English club, believing a deal was done—now everything hangs in the balance.
