Sunderland officially brought Reinildo to strengthen the squad this season

Sunderland FC has just officially brought Reinildo Mandava, a former Atletico Madrid defender, with a contract for two years. The 31 -year -old player arrived with a free transfer after his contract with the La Liga club ended. Reinildo previously joined Atletico Madrid from Lille in 2022, where he successfully recorded 99 appearances before deciding to continue his career in the English Premier League.

In his statement, Reinildo expressed his joy to join Sunderland. He revealed, “This is a dream that came true because playing in the English Premier League has always been my ambition. I can’t wait to play for historical clubs like Sunderland.” Reinildo’s emotional attachment to this club shows its commitment to contribute optimally in the team. He added, “I am eager to meet the team, fight, and give everything to the club.”

Reinildo is the fourth sunderland recruit in the transfer market this summer. Previously, Sunderland also brought midfielder Sadiki from Royale Union Saint-Gilloise, and Enzo Le Fee who joined permanently after being borrowed from AS Roma. In addition, Habib Diarra, a Senegal midfielder, was successfully used as a club record of 30 million pounds sterling from Strasbourg.

This change brings a new optimism for Sunderland who will undergo his first season back in the English Premier League after being relegated at the end of the 2016-17 season. With the increase in experienced players like Reinildo, the team is expected to be able to compete better and meet the expectations of loyal supporters.

Sunderland manager also looks happy with Reinildo’s arrival. He stressed the importance of the experience of Reinildo, which is expected to have a positive impact in the dressing room and in the field. “We need players like Reinildo who not only have technical abilities, but also experience at the highest level,” the manager said at a press conference.

Reinildo, who is an international player from Mozambik, is expected to help maintain the Sunderland penalty box and improve team defense. With his ability to read solid games and defensive skills, he will be a valuable asset for the team that is trying to return to the victory path.

Reinildo’s arrival not only had an impact on the defense, but was also expected to improve the performance of young players around him. Reinildo stressed the importance of transferring experience to his team-mates, with the hope of motivating them to achieve their best potential.

As a player who has been poor across European competition, including experience in the Club World Cup, Reinildo brought the credibility and persistence desired by the team. He hopes to build good relations with fans and provide achievements that can be proud of in the field.

Sunderland FC now has a series of new players who are ready to improve team performance in the competition. The combination of experienced players and talented young players is expected to create good synergy. The main focus now is to prepare the team to face various challenges in the coming season, where many things are at stake.

Despite many changes that must be faced, Sunderland remains optimistic and is ready to enter this new season with enthusiasm. Reinildo became one of the key elements in the team’s efforts to not only survive, but also excel in the English Premier League. The existence of these new players is expected to lift the team’s performance to a higher level.
