Football finance expert Kieran Maguire claims Sunderland could benefit from a partnership with Ligue 1 side AS Monaco. Reports in France last week claim Juan Sartori, co-owner and non-executive director at the Black Cats, is in line for a more senior role at The Monégasques.
Sartori has been a director at the French club since November last year and close friends with Black Cats co-owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus. The Uruguayan is understood to be keen on building a multi-club model.
With that in mind, Maguire believes Sunderland could benefit from a number of loan moves from the French side. “Sunderland could potentially be seen as a more desirable destination for loan players," Maguire told Football Insider.
