Sunderland tie Brian Brobbey down to 2031 in major long-term commitment

Published on: 04 November 2026

Sunderland have extended Brian Brobbey’s contract until 2031, securing the future of the Netherlands international forward who joined the club in the summer of 2025.

The 24-year-old, who is of Ghanaian heritage, arrived at Sunderland to strengthen the club’s attack. The Black Cats have now confirmed that he has signed a new long-term agreement, underlining their belief in his importance to the club’s plans.

The deal represents Sunderland’s intention to build a lasting project around players capable of making a significant contribution to the team. Brobbey is expected to continue developing while seeking to establish himself as a long-term part of the club’s sporting structure.

His market value is estimated at 50m euros.

Brobbey’s position at Sunderland has also been reinforced after his performances attracted reported interest from several major clubs. Liverpool, Manchester United and Arsenal have all been linked with the striker in recent months.

By extending his contract, Sunderland are now in a stronger negotiating position should any of those clubs or other potential suitors make an approach for the forward.

Brobbey’s new agreement comes shortly before Sunderland’s next European fixture. The club are due to face Dinamo Zagreb in the fourth round of the Europa League league phase.

The available match odds listed by 1xbet make Sunderland the clear favourites, with a home win priced at 1.35. A draw is listed at 4.40, while Dinamo Zagreb are priced at 5.80 to win.
