Sunderland in danger of double disappointment in transfer market after setbacks on two deals

Sunderland's move for Paris St Germain midfielder Edouard Michut is in danger of collapse, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano. The Black Cats were expected to complete the signing of the 19-year-old over the weekend on a loan deal with an option to buy and a sell-on clause for the French giants, and he was in the directors' box during Sunderland's game against Norwich City on Saturday afternoon.

But Romano, who has led the coverage of the deal, today said via Twitter that PSG asked for an extra clause to be included in the deal and that Sunderland have declined that request. And Michut is therefore on his way back to France to resume training with the Ligue 1 champions.

Sunderland were one of several clubs said to have expressed interest in Michut, although one of those - Celtic - later ruled themselves out of the running. Michut has made six first-team appeances for PSG, including five last season as the club won the Ligue 1 title.
