Eliezer Mayenda Linked with Move to Paris FC
On January 28, 2026, Sunderland faces the possibility of parting with several important players, including promising striker Eliezer Mayenda, who is reportedly under consideration by Paris FC.
Italian journalist Matteo Moretto indicates that Paris FC has initiated discussions with Sunderland concerning a transfer for the 20-year-old forward. The success of these negotiations remains uncertain.
Leicester City had also shown interest in Mayenda, who has been connected to a potential move to the Bundesliga in recent weeks.
Need for More Game Time
This season, Mayenda has appeared 15 times for Sunderland; however, most of these outings have been as a substitute. As he develops his career, securing more regular playing time could greatly benefit him, making a transfer from Sunderland a logical step.
The young striker has significant potential and could evolve into a top-tier forward if given the right opportunities and mentorship. If Paris FC can offer him consistent game time, it could prove to be a beneficial move for his career. Both clubs will need to work swiftly to finalize any agreement.
Should Paris FC succeed in signing Mayenda, they may acquire a valuable asset at a reasonable price, especially if he reaches his full potential.
Potential Departure from Sunderland
With limited chances at Sunderland, especially as the season progresses, Mayenda’s exit appears plausible. However, it remains to be seen if Sunderland is open to releasing such a talented young player. The club aims to maintain its strong performance in the Premier League, targeting a top-half finish, and may prefer to keep established players to help achieve these goals.
As the transfer window closes, it will be intriguing to see if Sunderland makes a move to replace Mayenda with a more experienced signing.
