Fabio Borini scores the third goal for Sunderland from the penalty spot
The agent of Sunderland attacker Fabio Borini has been talking about the player’s future after a difficult campaign at the Stadium of Light.
Sunderland were relegated last season, finishing bottom of the Premier League under the guidance of David Moyes. Borini did not play a major role in the campaign. He was out injured for most of the season, featuring just 15 times and scoring just once.
His agent Roberto De Fanti spoke about the player to Radio Sei and admitted he could be on his way this summer:
“There are negotiations underway, only a few calls of interest . It’s still early, we are only on June 20th.”

The Italian attacker, who has one cap for the Azzurri, would be a great signing for several clubs and plenty of teams have been linked with his signature already.
