Norwich’s new signing Mario Vrancic has said that he is very proud to be signing for the club.
The club announced on Thursday that he has signed for Norwich from Darmstadt on a three-year contract.
Vrancic reportedly had a buy-out clause of €750k, which Norwich have triggered and he now looks set for a move to the Canaries.
Following Darmstadt’s relegation from the Bundesliga, the clause activated in his contract allowing Norwich to secure the deal.
Speaking to Norwich’s website, Vrancic said this:
It’s a big move for me, having spent my whole career in Germany, but I’m happy to be joining.
I had a good conversation with the coach. I’ve been here for a couple of days as well and after that I decided very quickly I wanted to be part of Norwich.
I have a very good friend living in Frankfurt who lived in London for three years. I asked him about Norwich City and he said it would be a good move.
It’s a good city with a good stadium, so there’s everything that you need. I’m really happy and very proud to soon be part of Norwich.
The midfielder has been capped six times by Bosnia but played for various Germany teams throughout his international youth.
The 28-year-old started 18 Bundesliga games last season, scoring four and setting up two from midfield.
He was seen as one of the shining lights from the side which finished bottom of the division.
He is also known for his good free-kick and corner taking – something which Norwich have lacked in recent seasons.
