Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sunderland have been granted permission to discuss a deal to sign long-time target Sulley Muntari.
The Inter Milan midfielder, who spent the 2007-08 season in the Barclays Premier League with Portsmouth, is expected to move to the Stadium of Light on loan until the end of the season if the talks go well.
Muntari had also been linked with Liverpool and Tottenham during the current transfer window.
Muntari has been out of favour at Inter this season under successive coaches Rafael Benitez and Leonardo, making just 12 appearances and only one Serie A start.
He requested a transfer earlier this month from the Nerazzurri, where he has won two successive Scudetti and added last season's Coppa Italia and Champions League.
He would join Ghana team-mates Asamoah Gyan and John Mensah in manager Steve Bruce's squad should he complete his move to Wearside.
Muntari has made 56 appearances for his country, scoring 17 goals.
