Toulouse Football Club rejected a €33 million bid from Sunderland for Dayann Methalie, which could have been the club's biggest sale ever. The 20-year-old left-back, an Espoirs international, remains at Toulouse despite English interest.
Why did TFC reject this record offer?
Toulouse Football Club is holding out for a €35 million bid for their young talent. This sum would be a record for the club, which has never sold a player for such a high amount. Toulouse's management seems determined to get their price.
What are the consequences for the club?
The decision to reject this offer could delay Toulouse Football Club's recruitment. The club is waiting to sell several players, including Casseres, Donnum and Gboho, before strengthening their squad. After finishing 10th in the final 2025 standings (44 points, 12 wins, 8 draws, 13 losses), TFC is looking to improve their team for the next season.
What's next for Dayann Methalie?
Dayann Methalie did not play in the last friendly match against Elche (3-0 loss) due to minor physical concerns. The Occitan club may continue to benefit from his skills, but transfer rumors are unlikely to stop. Sunderland could return with a new offer.
