Norwich City player ‘favourite’ target for club – Reasonable asking price could favour negotiations

Borja Sainz of Norwich City has had bids from a number of teams, but the Canaries are not allowing him to leave in January, according to a report published on Monday by Corriere dello Sport. Spain has taken notice of the winger’s performances, as he has managed 16 goals and two assists in 26 appearances. According to Sport, Athletic has targeted the 23-year-old to strengthen their offensive line for the upcoming campaign.

According to the source, the Norwich City player has been named the Spanish team’s “favourite” target as they search for a replacement for Nico Williams, who is expected to depart next summer. Born in the Basque country, Sainz participated in Athletic’s youth program from 2012 until 2017.

Despite his impressive performances for the English team, Sport claims the attacker is worth €2 million, and his contract is set to expire in 2026. The La Liga team can definitely afford this, which makes his signing affordable. Sainz’s refusal to sign a new deal might work in Athletic’s favor when they negotiate with Norwich City.
