As reported by The Pink Un, Norwich outcast Nelson Oliveira could be on his way out of Carrow Road in January, sporting director Stuart Webber has confirmed.
The Portuguese frontman joined the club in 2016, with a contract lasting until 2020 but he has fallen out of favour with Daniel Farke this season, after a failed move away from the club in the summer.
Norwich have recently signed Jordan Rhodes and Teemu Pukki to lead the line, which has seen Oliveira struggling for minutes and at the age of 27, he can still perform to the best of his abilities.
Webber attended Norwich’s AGM on Thursday evening and was quizzed on Oliveira’s predicament at the club. The sporting director confirmed that they will listen to offers for the controversial striker. He said:
If he stays, no one really wins, we are open to offers for him in January. He is open to leaving because he knows he needs to play football.
As a club we have an expensive asset sat there and for him his career is disappearing and you only get one opportunity. He knows that. Nelson and I have an honest relationship.
We speak at least once a week on it. It is very professional. There are no problems. He has not been banished out of the group. He trains every day. I can’t speak highly of how he has handled it.
