Steadfast FC, owned by Ghanaian politician Haruna Iddrisu, stands to receive €7.9 million if Fatawu Issahaku makes a permanent move to Leicester City, as reported by Flashscore.

Issahaku, who joined Leicester on a season-long loan from Sporting CP with an obligation to buy last summer, could trigger a €17 million clause if he plays 60% of games for the Foxes.

Despite being under a transfer embargo due to breaking profit and sustainability rules in the 2022/23 season, Leicester aims to secure the Ghanaian winger permanently.

Steadfast FC will receive 50% of the value gained on the transfer once Leicester pays the €17 million fee for Issahaku.

Since Sporting CP bought Issahaku in 2022 for €1.2 million, the value gained on the transfer will be €15.8 million, to be shared between Steadfast and Sporting CP, resulting in both clubs gaining €7.9 million from the deal.

Issahaku played a crucial role in Leicester's return to the Premier League, contributing 6 goals and 13 assists.

Haruna Iddrisu also owns Ghana Premier League club Karela United.
