Gabriel Sara will likely be sold on this summer and their is one part of that deal that Norwich must ensure they include.
In 24 months at Carrow Road, Gabriel Sara has stunned Norwich City fans with his brilliance.
A crucial cog in former manager David Wagner’s system, he contributed over 25 times last season and is now being touted to a move into one of Europe’s top divisions.
Having signed for a reported £120 million, he has already paid off that cost in on-field performances. These performances, matched with two years left on his contract, will see the midfielder command a large fee from whoever is looking to sign him.
For the Norwich board, a key part of this deal will be the inclusion of a sell-on clause and the Canaries must use QPR’s Eberechi Eze sale as a prime example.
Sara impresses in East Anglia
Having signed from São Paulo, the fee Norwich paid for the youngster was an incredibly high one for the Championship. But, it was undoubtedly worth it and this season he has taken off to new heights not many would have foreseen.
Playing predominantly in central or defensive midfield, his contributions have been staggering, with 13 goals and 12 assists across the league campaign. His goal tally is particularly impressive, with the Brazilian outscoring his expected number by 5.59.
A classically well-rounded midfielder, he will emerge anywhere on the pitch and is desperate to run the game in a bid to keep his team on the front foot. Ranking in the top five percent for midfielders in touches, chances created, successful passes and crosses, duels won and accurate long balls, he can do it all.
It was no surprise then that at the end of the season we saw the announcement that Sara would be given a place by the EFL in the Championship Team of the Year.
