Transfer news LIVE: Man City COMPLETE £34m Cherki deal just as window slams SHUT, Chelsea's new Gittens bid REJECTED
Canary off Norwich City winger Borja Sainz could be heading to Porto. The Championship club has turned down bids from both the Portuguese club and Napoli but are holding out for a deal of about £17m. Porto are in the Club World Cup and they had been hoping to secure a deal before today's transfer deadline so Sainz could play in the United States but that transfer now looks unlikely to happen immediately. Even so, despite Napoli's offer, Porto are still favourites to sign a player who scored 19 goals for Norwich last season although 16 came in the first half of the season. Bilbao have also been interested in Sainz, 24, as he comes from the Basque region so qualifies under their strict rules of eligibility. Sainz arrived from Turkish club Giresunspor on a free transfer in 2023 and has just one year left on his contract so he will definitely leave Carrow Road. In January, Sainz was suspended for six matches after admitting to spitting at Sunderland's Chris Mepham. At the time, he was the Championship's leading scorer and was also fined £12,000 by the Football Association for the incident which took place in Norwich's 2-1 defeat at the Stadium of Light in December. Norwich striker Josh Sargent also looks set to leave although the club have had no bids. Leeds are interested with manager Daniel Farke having managed Sargent when he was Canaries manager.
