The 30-year-old experienced midfielder has been on Sunderland’s book since 2009, but it seems he could be heading towards the exit door this month.
Cattermole is one of the high earners at the club, currently on a £40,000-a-week package, and the Wearside club are confident that he will be on his way out.
Didier Ndong and Papy Djilobodji are all currently in talks of securing a move away from the Stadium of Light but the report claims that Cattermole is the one who is closest to the exit.
