Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier says he is allowing Stephen Wright to move to Sunderland because he will get more games there than at Anfield.
"Stephen is at an age where he has to play regular football," said Houllier.
"Going to Sunderland is an opportunity for him to do so.
"If I was selfish I would have kept him here but I thought about him and about his career because he is a good lad. I wish him well."
