Norwich blasted after pulling plug on deal for La Liga striker

1 Joaquin Larrivey

Norwich City have pulled out of a move to sign Joaquin Larrivey from Celta Vigo.

The forward travelled to East Anglia on Friday to undergo a medical after a fee of around £1.4m was agreed between the two clubs.

But, according to Marca, the Canaries pulled the plug on the deal and Larrivey has now returned to Spain to resume pre-season training with Celta.

The player’s agent, Daniel dos Reis, slammed Norwich for the way they handled the transfer.

He told Fiches.com: “There has not been any problem that may have lead to this.

“Nor has there been any change in the numbers of the operation. This is a total lack of seriousness, professionalism and ethics by Norwich.”
