Sulley Muntari will be heading back to Inter Milan.
Ghanaian midfielder Sulley Muntari will not be playing for Sunderland next season after the English side told him he is too expensive.
Muntari, a Ghana international, has been on loan at the Stadium of Light since January, joining the Black Cats from Inter Milan.
Inter were hoping to sell him for £8m to Sunderland and his wages of £80,000 per week also discouraged the club.
The Black Cats were offered by deal to acquire Muntari at the reduced price but they have declined to sign him on a permanent deal.
“There is no chance at Sunderland for Sulley,” agent Fabien Piveteau confirmed.
“They have decided he is too expensive.”
Sunderland have at least £18 million to spend after the sale of Darren Bent to Aston Villa in January and Piveteau.
Muntari was hoping a good performance in his loan stint could land him a permanent return to the English League but a calf injury and not-too-impressive looks to have scuppered the deal
, who also represents John Mensah, claims a deal for the Lyon loanee remains a possibility.
