Edouard Michut is set to join Adana Demirspor.
The Turkish club have agreed a deal to sign the Frenchman on loan with an option to buy, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Michut joined Sunderland on loan from Paris Saint-Germain last summer and really impressed as he made 25 appearances in the Championship.
The 20-year-old was expected to make his move on Wearside permanent, however he decided against staying at the club and returned to PSG.
When quizzed by L’Equipe on his departure from Sunderland, Michut said: “The club offered me the opportunity to stay. It was my decision to leave Sunderland. We didn’t agree on certain contractual points. There were also a few things in the style of play that didn’t suit me.”
Michut has since been made surplus to requirements with the French champions and remains on the hunt for a new club after failing to leave before the September 1 deadline.
The ‘exceptional’ midfielder was previously linked with a move to Leeds United, however it now looks like he is on his way to the Turkish Super Lig.
On his Twitter, Romano wrote: ‘Exclusive: Adana Demirspor agree deal to sign Édouard Michut on loan from Paris Saint-Germain.
‘Understand deal includes buy option clause — Patrick Kluivert wanted Michut. Verbal agreement sealed, waiting to check documents and sign.’
Edouard Michut won’t have expected to end up at Adana Demirspor
Adana Demirspor finished fourth in the league table last season, qualifying for the Europa Conference League second qualifying round. However, the club have since been knocked out of the competition by Genk.
Michut probably will have been expecting a much bigger move than to Turkey when he chose to reject Sunderland, however things haven’t gone quite as planned for the youngster.
Whether he regrets his decision is unclear, but he certainly has plenty of time to redeem himself and get himself back in a much bigger league.
