Manchester City have recalled Aro Muric, leaving the Sunderland goalkeeper under consideration by the Dutch side.
Sunderland goalkeeper Robbin Ruiter is wanted back in his homeland, according to Voetbal International.
The Dutchman is one of several shot-stoppers – including Benjamin van Leer, Logan Bailly and Przemyslaw Tyton – said to feature on NAC Breda’s list of Aro Muric replacements.
Muric only moved to Breda at the start of the summer on loan from Manchester City, but has found himself recalled by the Premier League champions after an injury to Claudio Bravo.
Ruiter has not appeared for Sunderland since the end of January, owing in part to an injury of his own, and has begun the new season as second choice behind Jon McLaughlin.
Allowing him to leave for Breda, however, would leave Sunderland short of senior options beyond McLaughlin, with youngster Max Stryjek first in line to step up.
That said, the Mackems still have seven days in which to find a replacement, either on loan or a free transfer.
Ruiter, a free transfer signing from FC Utrecht a year ago, has nine months left on his contract at the Stadium of Light.
Should Sunderland allow Ruiter to leave if Breda firm up their interest?
