Borja Sainz scored 18 goals in the Championship last season Norwich City are edging closer to an agreement to sell Spanish forward Borja Sainz to Portuguese side Porto. The Canaries are braced for an improved offer from the 30-time Primeira Liga winners and there is an expectation a deal will be done for around £15m. Sainz, 24, has one year left on his contract at Carrow Road and is eager to move after scoring 18 goals in the Championship last season. He finished as the division's joint second highest scorer behind only Leeds' Joel Piroe, but Norwich ended the season in 13th place, 11 points off the play-off places. 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 are expected to complete a deal for Denmark and Brondby striker Mathias Kvistgaarden, 23, as they plan for the scenario of losing both Sargent and Sainz.
