Marseille Bids £13.5m for Norwich's Rowe

Marseille has submitted a third bid for Norwich City winger Jonathan Rowe, structured as a loan with an obligation to buy for approximately £13.5m. Despite two previous offers being rejected, the French club is optimistic about finalizing the deal before the transfer window closes on August 30. Rowe has been sidelined from Norwich's first team, citing a lack of motivation to play, and has been training with the Under-21 squad. Both Leeds United and several other clubs have expressed interest, but Marseille currently leads the race to secure his signature. Norwich values Rowe at over £15m and is under pressure to resolve his future amid ongoing discussions. Coach Johannes Hoff Thorup emphasized the importance of supporting Rowe during this challenging period for him.
