The newly promoted Sunderland took a positive start for the Premier League season.
They managed to win seven points from their first four games this season and this puts them comfortably in the upper half of the Premier League table.
The ambitious summer transfer activity of Sunderland under the manager Régis Le Bris raised important questions about the future of the 23 -year -old left -back Dennis Cirkin, according to Football Insider.
The Black Cats spent more than 160 million pounds sterling to strengthen the team for the Premier League competition.
Among these new additions are Reinildo, recently signed at Atlético Madrid, and Arthur Masuaku, the former West Ham defender.
Dennis Cirkin faces an uncertain future in Sunderland
These two arrivals have an impact directly on the same defense wing where Cirkin has traditionally operated.
Cirkin, who joined Sunderland in 2021, is now in the last year of his contract and saw his position in the quarter work significantly.
Still recovering from a wrist injury suffered towards the end of the Sunderland championship campaign, he has not yet appeared this season. This absence, combined with the competition brought by Reinildo and Masuaku, means that Cirkin may have slipped into hierarchical order.
With its first team opportunities likely to be limited this season, speculations have already started on what the next Cirkin movement could be.
Black cats are always undecided in Cirkin
Sunderland has not yet decided to offer him a new contract, and he himself could be tempted to consider going at the expiration of his current agreement, to avoid being stuck with a limited playing time.
He is young, still in development and needs to have time to progress. Sitting on the bench or being a reserve may slow down its growth.
Offer him a renewed contract could demonstrate the faith, but only if he believes he will play.
Otherwise, allowing him to leave may be the most sensible decision. Cirkin’s time in Sunderland seems uncertain. The confluence of injuries, competition, expiration of contracts and external interests can force a decision, either by the player or the club.
