Norwich City F.C. head coach Johannes Hoff Thorup has announced the termination of forward Borja Sainz’s contract. This decision follows a six-match suspension and a £12,000 fine imposed on Sainz for spitting at an opponent during a December match.
Sainz, who joined Norwich City in July 2023 on a free transfer from Turkish side Giresunspor, had a contract running until June 2026. Despite his contributions on the field, the club has decided to part ways with the player due to disciplinary reasons.
The financial implications of this contract termination are significant, with reports suggesting a figure of £345.47 million. This substantial amount reflects the club’s commitment to maintaining discipline and upholding its values, even at considerable expense.
The club will now focus on reinforcing its forward lineup to compensate for Sainz’s departure. Fans and analysts will be closely monitoring how this decision impacts the team’s performance in the upcoming fixtures.
