Sulley Muntari is too expensive for Sunderland<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has refused to rule out a move for Sulley Muntari \u2013 but only if Inter Milan lower their price for the midfielder.<\/p>\n

The Ghana international arrived at the Stadium of Light in January on loan from the Italian Serie A champions with hopes that the former Portsmouth man would do enough to convince Bruce to award him a contract to help bolster the squad for next season.<\/p>\n

However, Muntari \u2013 given the lack of game time he had following last year\u2019s World Cup \u2013 struggled to keep up with the pace of the Premier League, and while he has shown flashes of the form which had won him his big move to Italy in the first place, it wasn\u2019t enough to impress Bruce that a permanent move would be value for money for Sunderland.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a deal in place and we looked at it, and basically it\u2019s a bit rich for us,\u201d conceded Bruce.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll address it over the summer as things might change but right now we don\u2019t want to commit ourselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s a reduction in price, it\u2019s possible that we might go back in for him. We have seen the best of Sulley these past two or three weeks. He came to us having not played for six months and he\u2019s found life back in the Premier League a bit tough. But he\u2019s a good pro and a very good player but we\u2019ve made the decision not to pursue our interest.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always prided myself that you have to get good value for money. It is part of good management \u2013 it certainly is part of my remit too, of course, that you have to look after the club as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a disappointment because I could have done with him for the last couple of games, but if we had played him, it would have triggered the automatic clause and at this particular moment, it\u2019s too rich.\u201d<\/p>\n

As this season draws to a close, many down Wearside way would be forgiven at expressing relief that it will soon be over \u2013 more so given the optimism generated by their impressive start to the campaign, which hinted at bigger things before the poor run of results and foul luck with injuries kicked in.<\/p>\n

However, Bruce insists that given the overall picture, progress has been made although he knows that with the injury situation, there is still some hard work that will await him come August.<\/p>\n
