  • Premier League new boys Fulham are preparing to offer €12m for the left-back who made 40 appearances across all competitions last season for Porto
  • But Sanusi has a €50m release clause in his contract that expires in 2025 which means the €12m offer is unlikely to be accepted by Porto

Now the Portuguese is looking at adding some reinforcement to his team ahead of the new league season and has his eyes set on Sanusi.

According to Sports Witness, the Cottagers are preparing to offer €12m for the left-back who made 40 appearances across all competitions and won the domestic double last season with Porto.

Fulham ‘intend to offer’ €12m for Sanusi but he has a €50m release clause

Meanwhile, Portuguese website Jornal de Notícias explains that Fulham ‘intend to offer’ €12m for Sanusi but he has a €50m release clause in his contract that expires in 2025.

If Fulham were to make a proposal in that region, it is unlikely that it will be accepted by Porto because they will not let Sanusi leave for less than €20m.

Sanusi was linked with a move away from FC Porto last summer but later regained his place in the side after a troubled start

The 24-year-old joined Porto from another Portuguese club Santa Clara in 2019.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Zaidu Sanusi is still basking in the euphoria of winning the Liga Portugal after scoring the last-gasp winner that won them the title.

The left-back is now in the party mode as he was recently spotted showing off his dancing skills during his team's title celebration.

In the midst of Porto supporters, Sanusi vibed to Shakira's popular World Cup song 'Waka Waka' (This Time for Africa) with the fans cheering him on.

In 2010, Shakira and local band Freshlyground brought the world together with the hit song, 'Waka Waka' just before the start of the World Cup.

The song was the official World Cup song and it became a big hit around the globe. South Africa hosted the FIFA World Cup that year.
