Fatawu is on the verge of a Premier League return. According to Sky Sports, newly-promoted Ipswich Town is finalizing a deal with Leicester to secure the Ghanaian winger's services for approximately €23 million.
Ipswich hopes to complete the signing of the former Sporting player before their pre-season training camp in Spain concludes. Fatawu represented the Lions in the 2022/23 season before moving to Leicester on loan the following campaign.
The Foxes activated their €17 million purchase option in 2024. According to Sporting's latest semi-annual financial report, the Lisbon club retained a 15% sell-on clause on any future transfer profit.
Should Fatawu be sold for around £20 million (€23.5 million), Sporting stands to receive approximately €900,000. The green and whites could also pocket an additional €100,000 from the FIFA solidarity mechanism.
Sporting had already earned at least €150,000 from Fatawu's permanent sale due to collective and individual performance bonuses.
