Hide AdHaye's contract with the Dutch expires in 2024 which means Sunderland would have to pay a fee in order to bring him to Wearside in the summer.
“That is also something that I said when I came to Heerenveen,” Haye told ESPN when discussing a potential move away from the Eredivisie. "I know things are going on. Going into names (with other clubs) doesn’t make much sense.
"There is a lot of interest in the background. It’s difficult in terms of price at the moment. I look at it calmly. I have the ambition to take the step, but only if it is a good step and everything falls into place.”
