Besiktas defender Vida reportedly rejects move to Norwich

Croatia international Domagoj Vida has reportedly rejected an offer to move to Norwich City. 

The newly-promoted Premier League side were apparently interested in signing the defender for around €10 million from Besiktas. However, it seems their initial efforts have been unsuccessful.

However, according to TRT Sport commentator Tarik Ustun, as cited by Sport Witness, the centre-back is reluctant to join Norwich as he wants to stay in Turkey.

Vida has also had interest from French side Marseille, who he also reportedly does not want to join.

The experienced defender has long been touted as a possible target for English top-flight sides, but on the back of a solid campaign in the Super Lig, it seems his focus remains solely on enjoying another season with Besiktas next term.

With Norwich having gained promotion to the Premier League, manager Daniel Farke is keen to get players in to help his side have the best chance of keeping their heads above water.
