Ernest Poku transfer negotiations

Overview

Transfer interest has emerged for Dutch winger Ernest Poku, currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen. Initially, Sunderland expressed interest in the 22-year-old, with reports suggesting a potential transfer fee of approximately €25 million. Sunderland, having been newly promoted to the Premier League, faced competition from Nottingham Forest for the player's signature.

Negotiations have since progressed with Italian club Fiorentina, which is reportedly in advanced talks to sign Poku to provide tactical flexibility for manager Fabio Grosso. Discussions regarding the transfer involve various financial structures, including potential loan deals with obligations to buy or direct sales. While interest remains from Premier League sides such as West Ham United, Sunderland, and Nottingham Forest, the move to Florence is currently considered the most concrete option.
