No deal has been struck for Norwich City winger Milot Rashica to join Galatasaray on a permanent deal despite reports in Turkey. 

Rashica is expected to depart Carrow Road this summer, having spent last season on loan with the Turkish champions, becoming a popular player during his time at the Nef Stadium. 

The Kosovan international has informed Norwich of his desire to leave the club this summer with a return to Gala reportedly his preferred destination. 

Turkish outlets were reporting on Tuesday that an agreement on a fee of €7.5m had been reached between the two clubs, with negotiations continuing around payment structure. 

The report added that Gala deputy chairman Erden Timur travelled to England to thrash out terms on the deal - with Rashica said to have already agreed personal terms.

We understand that is incorrect - with work ongoing to agree terms to allow Rashica, who joined City from Werder Bremen in 2021, to depart on a permanent basis. 

Five Bundesliga clubs are also monitoring his situation this summer, with Besiktas also interested. 

As it stands, Rashica is expected to return to Norwich for pre-season training at some stage after their tour of Germany this week, having finished his campaign with Galatasaray in early June.

Rashica will not form part of David Wagner's plans next season with movement expected on his situation in the coming weeks. 

He won the Turkish Super Lig with Gala last season, making 26 appearances and recording 11 goal contributions to help them to the title - becoming a fan favourite in the process. 

Galatasaray chiefs, including head coach Okan Buruk, have made little secret of their desire for Rashica to return to Istanbul next season - but Norwich will hold out until their valuation is met.

City will be forced into the market for another winger option following news of Borja Sainz' ankle ligament injury sustained in training last week. 

The Spaniard, who joined on a free transfer from Turkish club Giresunspor following their relegation, is expected to be missing until October but doesn't require any surgery on the injury. 

The club currently have Christos Tzolis, Prezmek Placheta, Jonathan Rowe, Onel Hernandez and Tony Springett as their wide options - although Wagner is still expecting change, both incoming and outgoing, in this area before the window's end.
