According to A Bola, Leeds United contacted FC Porto in the last January transfer window with the intention of signing Zaidu. Coach Francesco Farioli vetoed that possibility.

Leeds United have opened talks with FC Porto for a potential transfer of Zaidu Sanusi. The proposed deal includes a four-year contract running until 2029, with an estimated transfer fee of £1.75 million. Both the player and Porto are reportedly open to the move, making it a transfer worth monitoring as the summer window approaches.

Leeds United are planning a €2 million (£1.6m) summer bid for Porto's left-back Zaidu Sanusi, as reported by Harry Sherlock on Goal.com UK. This move is seen as a replacement for Junior Firpo as Leeds compete for automatic promotion in the Championship.
