Norwich City: Champions League outfit eye Borja Sainz transfer with €25m fee mooted.

Girona, a Spanish club that competes in the Champions League, is interested in Norwich City attacker Borja Sainz.

According to Fichajes, Girona has recently added Sainz to their list of potential targets. They are presently sixth in the first tier and are pursuing Mallorca and Villarreal for European football next season.

Given that he was only 22 years old when he arrived in East Anglia, the Canaries’ signing of the Spanish winger ahead of the 2023/24 season sparked much enthusiasm. Following a strong first season, he has not disappointed in his second season and has risen to the occasion.

Sainz, who arrived from Turkish side Giresunspor, is a promising addition to Norwich’s promotion push under Johannes Hoff Thorup. Sainz has established himself as a crucial member for the team and has demonstrated exceptional talent this season.

After 26 league games, Sainz has one more goal contribution than Finn Azaz. That kind of form is likely to pique the curiosity of a player who is both at his top and not yet there.

Girona eye Borja Sainz swoop

Norwich are proving to be play-off hopefuls, but maintaining Sainz’s talents is crucial for a sustained promotion push throughout the season. Many young players have flourished at Carrow Road, and Sainz is the next in line.

Given his age and skill set, as well as the fact that he is now an important player, it is reasonable to expect Norwich to demand a high fee for his services from any interested team, whether in the summer or in January if an opportunity for Sainz arises.

According to Fichajes, Girona is interested in signing him for a fee of €20-25 million, either this month or during the summer transfer window.

That demonstrates how wise an investment it was to bring him in, and his raw potential and clear promise are yielding more meaningful results. Earlier this season, it was reported that Athletic Club is interested in signing the former Real Zaragoza player.

Borja Sainz’s development

According to Transfermarkt, he scored 10 goals in 41 games in all competitions last season, helping his team reach the play-offs. Sainz’s first season was always going to be one of gradual adaptation and acclimatisation, but he has now clearly vindicated the excitement that had surrounded his arrival as the season progressed.

With his creativity, ball-carrying ability, and deadly goal threat, he has emerged as an important player on Norwich’s left side. This season, he has now scored 19 goals for Norwich in all competitions. While his pace and dribbling were already valuable assets to the team’s attack, he is now providing greater output, and he will gladly cut inside to attack the box or hold the width to bring inventiveness, especially in transition.

This season’s highlight was a hat-trick against Derby County. Despite being only 23 years old, Norwich fans believe he has the potential to become a top player in the division. He has been a nightmare for defenders for months, so losing him to his ban is even more devastating.

Sainz has been banished for six games after admitting to spitting on Sunderland’s Chris Mepham in December. The Football Association has also fined the Championship’s highest scorer £12,000 for the incident that occurred at the Stadium of Light.
