Doyle to Depart Etihad Stadium
Manchester City’s promising defender, Callum Doyle, is set to leave the club this summer, with Norwich City poised to secure his signature. The England Under-21 international, who has not yet featured for City’s senior team, is reportedly the subject of discussions for a permanent move, with other Championship clubs also showing interest.
Successful Loan Spells Highlight Doyle’s Talent
Doyle’s potential was on full display during his loan at Leicester City last season, where his contributions were instrumental in their Championship triumph. This success has not gone unnoticed, and despite his value to Manchester City, the club is prepared to sanction his sale. The 20-year-old defender, primarily a centre-back but capable of operating as a left-back, has been a part of the Manchester City setup since joining their first team in 2021 from the academy.
Transfer Value and Market Interest
With a contract at Manchester City running until 2027, Doyle’s market value is estimated at £15 million. The interest in Doyle follows Manchester City’s recent sale of Rory Delap to Ipswich Town for £20 million, including add-ons. Despite his lack of appearances for Pep Guardiola’s team, Doyle’s consistent first-team football experience during his loan spells has made him a valuable asset.
Doyle’s Impressive Loan Record
Doyle’s journey through the ranks has seen him amass a wealth of experience. After 44 appearances for Sunderland and aiding Coventry City’s push to the play-off final in the 2022-23 season, he played a key role in Leicester City’s Championship-winning campaign last season with 23 appearances.
Norwich City’s Defensive Reinforcements
Norwich City, having secured a play-off spot last season but with a defensive record that needs improvement, are looking to Doyle to bolster their back line. The Canaries’ ambition to be at the forefront of the promotion battle next season could hinge on strengthening their defensive setup, and Doyle could be a significant addition to their squad.
