EXCLUSIVE Fiorentina striker shoots down Sunderland offer
Crystal Palace have been the main pursuer, offering the Viola a loan with option to buy the Senegalese striker for €14-15 million.
However, calciomercato.com now understands that Sunderland are in the race, too... but that Babacar has turned the Black Cats down, claiming that he'll only move to a top club.
Sunderland are currently in the relegation zone, and though Jermaine Defoe has netted nine goals this campaign, no-one else has managed more than Steven Fletcher's 4.
