Norwich City are poised to officially part ways with winger Borja Sainz, having reached an agreement with Portuguese club FC Porto.
The transfer, valued at £14.25 million including performance-related add-ons, marks a significant step for both clubs as Norwich look to reshape their squad ahead of the new season.
The 24-year-old Sainz is expected to travel to Portugal shortly to complete the transfer, with the necessary paperwork likely to be finalised in the coming days.

Metz winger Pape Diallo has emerged as a strong candidate to replace Sainz. Reports suggest that Diallo, 21, is currently in advanced negotiations with Championship rivals Watford, who are believed to have reached an agreement worth up to £4.3 million with the Ligue 1 side.
Sainz joined Norwich on a free transfer from Turkish club Giresunspor after activating a relegation release clause in his contract. During his time at Carrow Road, he made 82 appearances, scoring 27 goals, and notably finished as a runner-up in the Championship's Golden Boot race last season with 15 goals by Christmas.
