Ipswich Sign Norwich Midfielder Marcelino Nunez in £10m Deal on Four-Year Contract

Norwich cashed in with a year left on his deal.

Overview

  • Ipswich confirmed the transfer for an initial £7.5m plus £2.5m in add-ons for the Chile international.
  • The switch is the first direct permanent move between the rivals since Andy Marshall crossed in 2001.
  • Nunez currently has a minor ankle problem, and his availability for the early October derby at Portman Road is uncertain.
  • Norwich sporting director Ben Knapper said the sale reflected the player’s wishes, contract position and the offer on the table.
  • Ipswich see Nunez as a key midfield addition after the exits of Sam Morsy and Massimo Luongo and the end of Kalvin Phillips’ loan.
