Norwich City release statement confirming next steps for on-loan...

Norwich City released a club statement this week after the regular Championship season ended, which included

information about the futures of two Manchester City players.

Txiki Begiristain and Hugo Viana may be involved in several high-profile transfer sagas this summer, particularly in

the midfield area, but they also have their hands full with possible departures from the team.

As City gets ready for a bit of a squad overhaul this summer, a number of stars from Pep Guardiola’s first team would

probably attract interest from all across Europe, especially the more established players like Bernardo Silva and Ilkay

Gundogan.

Young players’ fates also need to be resolved, both for those who have been out on loan during the 2024–2025

season and are looking forward to their next challenge in the game, as well as for those who are having difficulty

finding regular first-team opportunities inside the Etihad team.

As they attempt to assemble their team for the 2025–26 Championship season, one club has already made their

supporters aware of the two names they temporarily removed from Manchester City at various periods throughout

the previous campaign.

The versatile defender Callum Doyle will rejoin Manchester City after his season-long loan at Norwich City,

according to a comprehensive statement from Carrow Road outlining the futures of their loan and out-of-contract

players.

The Championship team confirms that talks are currently taking place with their Manchester City colleagues over the

possibility of triggering an option to make the 19-year-old’s move to Carrow Road permanent.

After initially joining Norwich City on a short-term contract during the January transfer window, Wright recently

expressed his excitement in an interview about the prospect of staying there permanently.

When asked in early April if he would be pleased to sign a permanent contract with the Canaries, Wright said,

“100%.”

“I’m really beginning to build something nice, enjoying it, a good family club,” he added. I’m having a great time

watching them play. If I stay, hopefully we’ll have better success the following season. Of course I would like to.

Many thought that Callum Doyle, who impressed under the Catalan on the most recent preseason trip, would be

ready for a spot in Pep Guardiola’s first team squad following four straight strong loan stints in the Football League.

However, it would seem that Doyle’s route has been blocked and that he needs to find a fresh challenge elsewhere

given the January transfer window’s investment in defensive positions and the summer’s planned recruitment for

full-back positions.
