Relegated Norwich have agreed a club record £11.5million deal for Brazilian Gabriel Sara after City’s sporting director Stuart Webber flew to South America.
Attacking midfielder Sara, 23, has agreed to leave top-flight club Sao Paulo in Brazil to pen a five-year deal in Norfolk. He will become the club’s first ever Brazilian player after Webber thrashed out a deal to beat off competition from West Brom and MSL outfit FC Dallas.
Sara, who has had an ankle injury, is now due to fly to Norwich this week to complete the deal. The terms are an initial £9m but with add-ons for promotion and potential Cup success could reach £11.5m.
