Sunderland Agree to Sell Daniel Braganca to Man City for £47.5M

Sunderland are moving away from the possession based system that got them here, a bold and potentially naive move from Brendan Rodgers. As a result, certain players signed for that system will need to be sold as the team looks to move to a high pressing, high octane system that is potentially better suited to English football. Daniel Braganca is the first casualty as the Portuguese midfielder is set to leave for Man City in January for a nearly £50M fee.
