Josh Sargent leaving Norwich City?
Transfermarkt has confirmed multiple reports that Toronto FC have an agreement to sign Josh Sargent from Norwich City. After an initial bid of $18 million (€15.4m) did not meet Norwich's valuation, an agreement has now been reached that could make Sargent the most expensive signing in MLS history. Norwich will receive an initial $22 million (€18.7m) plus $5m (€4.2m) in add-ons. According to a report by TalkSport's Alex Crook, Sargent is traveling to Toronto to complete his medical. A report by Tom Bogert states that St. Louis City SC holds the 'right of first refusal' for Josh Sargent if he ever decides to play in Major League Soccer. This means that if he were to sign with an MLS team, it must be with St. Louis City, or the club must be compensated if he is transferred to another team in the league. Sargent's former club Werder Bremen will receive 10% of the transfer fee.

Toronto FC and Norwich City have agreed a deal for striker Josh Sargent following negotiations that lasted for weeks, which is a record for the club and for MLS. According to Sky Sports and Ben Jacobs, Toronto will pay $27m (£20m, €23m) for the United States international. The Major League Soccer franchise began pursuing Sargent in late 2025, but Norwich's initial position in January was that he was not for sale. The 26-year-old, who has three young children, wanted to join Toronto in order to return to North America. Toronto's initial offer was below Norwich's expectations, as the club wanted a fee similar to the €24m offered by Wolfsburg last summer. Sargent withdrew from that potential move because he did not want to return to Germany. Norwich were aware that Toronto did not have an alternative plan and that their pre-season had shown a need for a primary attacker. The fee will exceed Toronto's previous club record of just over €9m, spent on Alejandro Pozuelo in 2019. If the $27m fee is correct, it will also make Sargent the most expensive player in MLS history, surpassing Son Heung-min's $22m move to LAFC. Sargent has been given permission to travel for his medical and will sign a five-year contract.

Norwich City have agreed to sell Josh Sargent to Toronto FC. The clubs have agreed to a £20m package, and Sargent has been given permission to travel to the US on Friday afternoon to undergo a medical and finalise personal terms. Norwich City rejected Toronto FC's initial enquiry, and discussions have been ongoing for the last two months. On Friday morning, The Daily Mail reported that the clubs have reached an agreement for an initial fee of £15.5m. The MLS season begins this weekend. Toronto FC's initial approach was lower than Norwich City's valuation of Sargent, who had rejected a potential £22m move to the Bundesliga for summer 2025. US-based journalists claimed that Sargent, who is from Missouri, wanted to return to the US with his young family. The MLS transfer window is open until March 26.

Toronto FC are still confident of signing Josh Sargent despite the January transfer market closing on Monday. The Athletic reports that Toronto FC believe they can still sign the forward because the MLS window remains open until March. Speculation has surrounded the American’s future, and the striker could potentially leave the Championship side. It has been reported that the player has been left upset by the club following a heated meeting with sporting director Ben Knapper in January. The MLS outfit wants to complete a deal for Sargent as soon as possible, as the new campaign is scheduled to start on 21 February. It is believed that the weakened dollar has negatively affected Toronto’s ability to afford a deal for the striker. Their current offer of $18 million amounts to £13 million, and they will need another $10 million to match the £21 million fee Norwich previously accepted from Wolfsburg for the 25-year-old.
