Leeds Plot €2m Summer Move for Porto Defender Sanusi

 

LEEDS EYE JUNIOR FIRPO SUCCESSOR? DANIEL FARKE'S SIDE PREPARE €2M BID FOR PORTO'S ZAIDU SANUSI AMID PROMOTION PUSH

Leeds United are preparing a €2m (£1.7m) bid for Porto left-back Zaidu Sanusi as they look to reinforce their squad amid the push for automatic promotion to the Premier League. Manager Daniel Farke is keen to strengthen his defense, with Sanusi emerging as a low-cost alternative if Junior Firpo departs in the summer.

Why Leeds Want Sanusi

🔹 Defensive Reinforcement – Firpo’s injury struggles and inconsistency have raised concerns.

🔹 Premier League-Ready? – The Nigerian international has Champions League experience with Porto.

🔹 Affordable Option – Leeds can sign him for a bargain fee, allowing funds for other reinforcements.

Firpo’s Future Uncertain

❓ Contract expires in 2025, with Leeds open to cashing in.

❓ Linked with a move back to Spain if Leeds fail to secure promotion.

❓ Inconsistent performances have led Farke to explore alternatives.

What’s Next?

💼 Leeds to submit formal bid in the coming weeks.

💼 Sanusi open to the move, with Porto willing to negotiate.

💼 Promotion push crucial – Premier League football could make Leeds a more attractive destination.

🚨 Final Verdict: 

Leeds see Sanusi as a cost-effective, experienced upgrade, but securing promotion will be key to finalizing the move.
