Styles joined Sunderland on loan from Barnsley, with previous Black Cats manager Michael Beale keen to sign him. The midfielder started ten Championship games this season but failed to leave a lasting impression.
Sunderland has the option to make the move permanent in the summer, although it is unclear what they will do. Sunderland’s transfer team’may be looking elsewhere’, implying a return to Barnsley for Styles.
At the moment, it appears unlikely that the midfielder will play at the Stadium of Light next season. Styles may want to continue at Sunderland, but it appears the club has other intentions and wants to look beyond him.
The 24-year-old midfielder is then anticipated to return to Barnsley, where he has a contract until 2025 with the club. Sunderland is seeking for a new manager as well.
