Amad reacts to Middlesbrough transfer links as he messages a Sunderland fan about rumours
Amad Diallo has taken to social media to dispel rumours of a move to Middlesbrough.
Amad Diallo has dismissed speculation that he could join Sunderland’s North East rivals Middlesbrough.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Boro manager Michael Carrick was planning to use his ‘connections’ at Manchester United to beat Sunderland to the loan signing of Amad during the January transfer window.
It had also been claimed that Middlesbrough were in pole position to sign Amad because they were willing to offer Manchester United a better financial package than Sunderland.
However, the player was quick to dispel the rumours, sending a direct message to the Sunderland News & Banter fan page to clarify the situation and post proof of the interaction online.
Amad wrote on the supporters’ page, “Hi mate it’s AMAD. The rumours bind (sic) on a loan to Boro it’s fake. If I had to come back on loan to the Championship, it would be Sunderland and not anywhere else.” Amad then posted a photo on his Instagram account of himself playing for the Wearsiders last season.

Amad, 21, impressed on loan at Sunderland last season, scoring 14 Championship goals, and the Black Cats were among several clubs monitoring the player’s situation this summer. That was before Amad suffered a lengthy knee injury in preseason, forcing him to miss the first half of the season.
Amad, who joined Manchester United for approximately £34 million, returned to ten Hag’s squad to face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League earlier this month and was named to the bench.
