Sunderland youngster Chris Rigg has commented on transfer speculations surrounding him ahead of the summer transfer window.
Rigg responded to questions over his Sunderland future in a recent interview with The Telegraph, ahead of the 2025 summer transfer window.
Chris Rigg told the Telegraph: “I don’t listen to any of the speculation.
“I’ve got far more important things to worry about, like trying to get Sunderland promoted.”
Sunderland hopes to retain him by offering a professional contract aligned with the terms discussed during his scholarship agreement.
Despite their efforts, Rigg remains a target for major clubs, with Newcastle United, Arsenal, and German clubs like Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen showing strong interest.
Manchester United are reportedly poised to launch a summer bid for Sunderland’s promising teenager Rigg, aiming to secure his services ahead of his 17th birthday on June 18.
