Marseille has shown their interest in Norwich City winger Jonathan Rowe by making an official bid for the 21-year-old player. The bid was received by Norwich City on Friday, but the club is determined to keep Rowe and believes that the bid does not match the player’s true value.
Leeds United is also interested in signing Rowe, who is currently in the last year of his contract with Norwich City, although the club does have an option to extend for another year. Rowe is with the City squad for their Championship opener against Oxford United and is expected to play a part in the match.
Norwich City’s manager, Johannes Hoff Thorup, spoke about Rowe’s situation during a press conference, praising the player’s professionalism amid the transfer speculation. He emphasized the importance of respecting the fact that the transfer window is still open and anything can happen.
The news of Marseille’s bid and Leeds United’s interest in Rowe comes after Norwich City sold Gabriel Sara to Galatasaray for over £20 million, plus additional payments. Additionally, talks are ongoing between Celtic and Norwich City for a potential transfer deal involving Rowe, with a fee of £6 million plus add-ons being discussed.
Overall, the future of Jonathan Rowe at Norwich City remains uncertain as clubs continue to show interest in the talented young winger. The upcoming days of the transfer window will be crucial in determining whether Rowe stays at Norwich City or moves to a new club for the upcoming season.
