The agent of Mortiz Leitner says the midfielder is set to leave Norwich City this summer while Josip Drmic and Tom Trybull are also up for sale, as reported by the Pink ‘Un.
Considering the Canaries have looked doomed since about March, Daniel Farke and Stuart Webber have had plenty of time to prepare for life back in the Championship.
Norwich have already completed a host of exciting signings, with Kieran Dowell moving to Carrow Road from Everton after showcasing his impressive technical ability during a goal-laden loan spell at Wigan Athletic.
Jacob Sorensen, Przemyslaw Placheta, Bali Mumba and Daniel Sinani have also joined Farke’s squad, with all four epitomising Webber’s preference for young, hungry and affordable prospects with high re-sale value.
A flurry of additions will, inevitably, be followed by the odd exit.
And, while Todd Cantwell, Max Aarons and the Liverpool-linked Jamal Lewis continue to occupy the gossip columns, reports suggest that a trio of bench-warmers could be the first to go.
The Pink ‘Un reports that Trybull and Drmic will be allowed to leave, while the former Dortmund youngster Leitner is also on his way.
“Together with club we are looking for a good solution, with which both the club and the player are happy,” Leitner’s agent, Wassily Krastanas, said via the Press Association.
“Moritz had a great time in Norwich and has developed in every way. The discussions were and are always open and fair, that is what characterises the people responsible for the Canaries.”
Deep-lying Dane Sorensen should replace Trybull or Leitner in Farke’s engine room.
Sinani, who scored 24 goals in 30 games in 2019/20, could represent an upgrade on the lethargic Drmic too.
