Pinto’s move to Ankaragucu collapses

Norwich City right-back Ivo Pinto has returned to Carrow Road after seeing a move away fall through.

According to a report from Futbol Arena, Pinto was set to join Turkish side Ankaragucu after agreeing on personal terms, but the club’s financial problems blocked the transfer.

It is claimed that the Super Lig outfit have been struggling to retain players after failing to pay wages, as their financial status reaches crisis point.

It is now understood that Pinto has returned to Norwich, where he can continue helping the club in their push for promotion back to the Premier League.

The Portuguese full-back joined Norwich from Dinamo Zagreb back in 2016 and has made 83 appearances for the Canaries.

However, the 29-year-old has only been involved on five occasions this season, which has seen Norwich join a host of teams battling for promotion, as they currently sit third in the Championship on goal difference.

A move away was looking likely for Pinto, but proceedings have since fallen through.
