AliousJonathan Rowe’s future at Norwich City is a hot topic as the transfer window nears its end, with Leeds United and Marseille showing interest.
Rowe, a 21-year-old academy product, became a key player for Norwich last season, scoring 12 goals and providing 2 assists in 32 appearances.
Despite having only a year left on his contract (with a one-year extension option), Norwich faces pressure to sell.
Leeds United reportedly made a verbal £7 million offer, which Norwich rejected.
Marseille has also made an offer, though details are unclear.
Norwich is said to value Rowe at £15 million.
If Norwich decides to sell, a move to Marseille would be preferable as it wouldn’t strengthen a promotion rival like Leeds.
This situation will test new sporting director Ben Knapper, as fans would likely oppose selling to a competitor.
Rowe’s departure seems increasingly likely after he withdrew from Norwich’s squad for their season opener against Oxford United on the morning of the game.
This action, taken without a concrete offer on the table, suggests he’s eager to move and may weaken Norwich’s negotiating position.
The situation remains unresolved, with no offer yet accepted, creating uncertainty for Norwich as the transfer window’s end approaches.
