Saudi Arabian club Al-Qadsiah are in talks with Portuguese giants Porto over a potential move for Super Eagles defender Zaidu Sanusi, according to reports.
Porto are reportedly seeking around €10 million for the Nigerian left-back, who has entered the final year of his current contract.
Negotiations over a contract extension have reportedly stalled over disagreements about Sanusi’s salary, leaving Porto facing the possibility of losing the defender for nothing when his current deal expires next summer.
The situation has prompted the Portuguese club to consider selling Sanusi during the current transfer window rather than allowing him to leave as a free agent.
Al-Qadsiah have emerged as potential suitors and are understood to be in discussions with Porto over the terms of a possible transfer.
For Sanusi, a move to Saudi Arabia would represent a new chapter in his club career after several seasons in Portugal, where he has established himself as a regular option at left-back when fit.
The 28-year-old also remains an experienced member of the Nigeria national team and could be attracted by the prospect of a new challenge and potentially improved financial terms.
However, with Porto valuing him at €10 million and his contract situation complicating negotiations, the two clubs will still need to reach an agreement before the transfer can be completed.
Will Zaidu Sanusi leave Porto for Al-Qadsiah before the transfer window closes?
