USMNT forward Josh Sargent is in talks over a potential move from Norwich City to Wolfsburg.
The two sides are yet to reach an agreement, but discussions are ongoing over the 25-year-old’s potential return to the German Bundesliga.
If the deal is completed, Sargent will become Wolfsburg’s second signing from the English Championship this summer, following the arrival of midfielder Vinicius Souza from Sheffield United earlier this month.
Sargent signed his first professional contract at Werder Bremen on his 18th birthday in 2018, and progressed through the German club’s youth academy before making his senior debut later that year.
He joined Norwich in the summer of 2021 and has scored 48 goals in 133 games during his four seasons at the club.
Sargent was the Championship’s fourth-highest goalscorer in the 2024-25 season, with 15 goals in 32 games, having scored 16 times in 26 league appearances the season prior. Norwich have finished 13th, sixth and 13th in the English second tier since relegation from the Premier League in 2022.
When asked about Sargent’s future on Monday, Norwich City manager Liam Manning told BBC Radio Norfolk: “He’s top, you see that, you see what he’s done in the division, but the consequence of that is naturally he’s going to be linked with clubs at a higher level.
“We’ll have to see how that pans out, but I can’t speak highly enough of how he’s applied himself in training and how he’s gone about it.”
Sargent has scored five goals in 28 games for the USMNT, but was omitted from Mauricio Pochettino’s Gold Cup squad. “It is a football decision and we wanted to see other forwards so at this time so that is why we decided to not go with Sargent,” Pochettino said to American media.
Sargent’s potential exit from Norwich would follow winger Borja Sainz’s move to Porto, which was confirmed on Sunday.
