Several reports have claimed that Norwich City were in talks for a deal for Cheikh Niasse for approximately £8.5m. However, PinkUn has stated that the player is not a target for the club. The Senegalese player was considered by Norwich City in previous windows, but the interest will not be revisited. Norwich City have already signed midfielder Sam Field this summer.

According to Corriere di Verona, Norwich City are expected to complete a deal for Hellas Verona midfielder Cheikh Niasse in the coming days. The report, relayed by CalcioHellas, claims that negotiations for Niasse are progressing and that an agreement could be reached over the coming days, although there remain details to be finalised. Several clubs are believed to be interested in a deal for Niasse, who is expected to leave Hellas Verona after the club's relegation. Hellas Verona have set a €10 million asking price on the midfielder, which is around £8.5 million. Verona are believed to be keen to sell amid the transfer interest as they look to balance their finances.

Norwich City and Italian side Hellas Verona are in talks for the 26-year-old defensive midfielder Cheikh Niasse, but there is some distance between the two clubs. Niasse, who has one cap for Senegal, has three years left on his current contract with Hellas Verona. There is uncertainty surrounding his future at the club following its relegation into Serie B. In the 2025/2026 Serie A season, he made 20 appearances and provided one assist. Other clubs are also interested in the Senegalese player, as up to three clubs have made enquiries about signing him. His current market value is €2.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
