Borja Sainz Completes £14.25m Transfer from Norwich to FC Porto

Borja Sainz has officially transferred from Norwich City to Portuguese giants FC Porto for £14.25 million, signing a five-year contract with the 30-time Primeira Liga champions. The 24-year-old winger, who was Norwich's top scorer last season with 18 Championship goals, has been praised by FC Porto's football director Jorge Costa for his unpredictability and ability to excite fans. Norwich Sporting Director Ben Knapper highlighted Sainz's impact and the club's success in developing top-tier talent, while Norwich head coach Liam Manning described the sale as a terrific deal that allows the club to strengthen its squad. Sainz began the 2024-25 season strongly, scoring 16 goals in 20 appearances, though his form declined later, compounded by a six-match ban for spitting at an opponent—a move he publicly apologized for. Despite interest from several European clubs, Porto's determined pursuit won Sainz’s signature, reflecting their ambition to build a strong, competitive team for the upcoming season.
