Norwich City recently made a €5m offer to acquire left-back Francisco Moura from Famalicao, but the bid was promptly rejected by the Portuguese club. Famalicao insists on Moura’s €7.5m release clause, a figure that includes obligations to Braga, who hold a 50% stake in any transfer fee. This development casts doubt on Norwich’s ability to secure the 24-year-old, who has flourished with Famalicao in the Portuguese top-flight, showcasing his development and attacking prowess with four assists last season.

The potential acquisition of Moura would have bolstered Norwich’s defensive ranks significantly as they prepare for the upcoming Championship season. However, with negotiations stalling, Norwich will need to consider alternative options to address their left-back needs before their opening match against Oxford United on August 10th.
