Update:16-year-old Sunderland midfielder named as one of the major teams’ summer targets, along with new castle.

The Chris Rigg transfer and contract situation was detailed in the midst of interest from Manchester United,

Liverpool, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, and Man City.

Major English and European clubs are still interested in signing Chris Rigg, a highly regarded child prodigy who is

regarded as one of the best players in the world at his age.

The Echo walks you through our interpretation of the player’s circumstances in light of transfer interest here.

We’ll also examine Rigg’s contract status and the plans that Academy of Light executives have in place for him.

In all honesty, and I know this isn’t what Sunderland supporters want to hear, but there is… and that’s from almost every major European team as well.

The Echo is aware that Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich are all eager.

Actually, if the right opportunity came along, I doubt that any team in England or on the continent wouldn’t take Rigg from Sunderland.

Birmingham City, for example, have also expressed interest. Tony Mowbray, the former Black Cats manager who

gave Rigg his first-team debut when he was fifteen, is currently in charge of Birmingham City.

Their new American owners have plans for more beyond just winning championships.

At sixteen, Rigg is not yet old enough to sign a professional contract, but if both clubs agreed on a price, he could theoretically sign with another team.

Should Rigg decide to move elsewhere at the conclusion of his scholarship agreement, Sunderland would receive compensation through a tribunal.

Dan Neil, 22, has already played in 136 senior games and has developed via regular football play.

The 23-year-old Anthony Patterson has also played in 120 games with the first squad.

Additionally, there is the case of Jobe Bellingham.

The former Birmingham City player, who was brought to Sunderland at the age of 17, has already made 31 appearances for the Black Cats this season and has made 57 appearances in senior competitions.
