According to reports, Bryan Oviedo could leave Sunderland this summer. Oviedo is weighing up his options and considering a summer exit, as per Teletica.

The Costa Rica international has just crashed out of the Gold Cup with his country. And now that his international duties are over, Oviedo needs to think about his future.

Sunderland will play another season in League One next year after failing to win promotion. The Black Cats were relegated in consecutive seasons to drop from the Premier League to the third tier.

But Jack Ross could not win promotion in his first season. It was a tale of double Wembley disappointment as Sunderland lost the Checkatrade Trophy and play-off finals.

Sunderland’s failure to win promotion could seal Oviedo’s exit. The attack-minded left-back flitted in and out of Ross’ plans last season, playing 31 games in all competitions.

Overall, the 29-year-old has played 77 games, scoring twice and providing 11 assists. Prior to that, he played 68 times for Everton but he could now be leaving England.

Where next for Bryan Oviedo?

Oviedo was previously linked with West Brom (Chronicle) but the Baggies might have moved on now. Instead, Oviedo should consider moving abroad.

He has a potential offer from Club Brugge on the table (Northern Echo) and his exit will help Sunderland trim their wage bill.
