Norwich agree to sell Sainz to Porto for £14.25m

Borja Sainz scored 18 goals in the Championship last season

Norwich City have agreed a £14.25m deal to sell forward Borja Sainz to Porto.

The Canaries have also negotiated a sell-on clause, with Sainz now set for a medical with the Portuguese side.

Norwich had been braced for an improved offer from the 30-time Primeira Liga winners and there was an expectation a deal would be done for around £15m.

Sainz, 24, has one year left on his contract at Carrow Road and has been eager to move after scoring 19 goals in all competitions last season.

He finished as the Championship's joint second highest scorer with 18 goals behind Leeds' Joel Piroe, but Norwich finished 13th, 11 points off the play-off places.

Sainz joined on a free transfer from Turkish side Giresunspor two years ago and has scored 27 times in 82 appearances.

His fellow Canaries striker Josh Sargent also has interest, from Burnley, with Norwich looking for around £20m for the United States international.

Sargent has three years left on his contract in Norfolk with the Canaries in a strong bargaining position, but there is an acceptance the 25-year-old can move if it is the right deal.

He has scored 48 goals in 133 appearances since joining from Werder Bremen in 2021.

Liam Manning's side completed the signing of Denmark and Brondby striker Mathias Kvistgaarden, 23, on Tuesday as they plan for the scenario of losing both Sargent and Sainz.

They are also interested in Metz attacker Pape Diallo, who has been on the verge of a move to Watford.
