Amad Diallo has attracted interest from Newcastle United and several other clubs during this summer transfer window, but a significant hurdle appears to be blocking any potential move.

Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Manchester United have no plans to part ways with the winger. According to Romano, the club informed Diallo’s representatives back in June that they intend to keep faith in the player and see him as part of their long-term project.

This stance from United makes a transfer to St James’ Park highly improbable, as the club continues to view the Ivory Coast international as an important asset within Erik ten Hag’s squad.

The 24-year-old remains a popular figure at Sunderland following his impressive loan spell during the 2022-23 season under Tony Mowbray, where he found the net 14 times across all competitions.

His performances were instrumental in helping Sunderland reach the Championship play-offs, delivering several standout moments that strengthened his connection with the fans. Since returning to Old Trafford, Diallo has gradually earned more opportunities within the first team setup.

A potential move to Newcastle would likely come as a shock to Sunderland supporters, given the strong emotional bond they continue to share with the winger.
