Norwich City stance revealed on Adam Idah after Celtic loan spell
Idah doesn’t look set to make a permanent move back to his former loan club, with the Canaries’ stance being revealed.
Norwich City are not open to selling Adam Idah permanently this summer, according to Football Scotland.
Idah, 23, has always been a highly-rated player at Carrow Road, but he has been unable to thrive consistently in Norfolk despite this.
But the Republic of Ireland international looked to have turned a corner when he joined Scottish Premiership giants Celtic on loan, with the striker thriving north of the border.
With Idah’s contributions helping Brendan Rodgers’ side to secure the Scottish Premiership title, it’s no surprise that they are keen to secure a return for the 23-year-old.
Both the Scottish giants and the player are keen to secure a permanent deal, but Norwich will also play a crucial role in determining whether this will happen.
The striker’s contract at Carrow Road doesn’t expire until the summer of 2028 – and that means the Canaries are in a very strong negotiating position this summer.
Considering his loan spell in Glasgow, his potential and the fact he’s still fairly young, Norwich won’t be accepting a small fee for the player, who could go on to be a real success despite failing to live up to his potential in Norfolk just yet.
The Canaries’ board will be looking to give Johannes Hoff Thorup a decent budget to put his stamp on the squad, and if they can generate a big fee for Idah, that could boost his kitty.
However, it doesn’t look as though he will be sold anytime soon.
Latest revealed on Adam Idah’s future amid Celtic interest
Norwich aren’t open to selling Idah at this stage, which is a blow for the Scottish Premiership champions who will be desperate to see him return to Glasgow.
At the moment, the Canaries’ plan is to bring him back to Norfolk for pre-season so he can be assessed by his new boss, who could potentially have an important role for him next season.
