Official | Norwich City confirm Jonathan Rowe’s permanent Marseille transfer

EFL Championship side Norwich City FC have confirmed that Marseille will retain the services of England U21 international winger Jonathan Rowe (22). Last summer, the London-born winger joined the Ligue 1 giants on loan with an obligation to buy estimated at €16m. Marseille’s No. 17 logged three goals and as many assists in 29 games under the tutelage of head coach Roberto De Zerbi. “Jonathan Rowe’s loan to Marseille will become a permanent deal, following the obligation to buy in the agreement between the two clubs”, reads a statement from NCFC.

Next season, Jonathan Rowe will experience Champions League football at Marseille’s Vélodrome following Les Phocéens‘ 3-1 away win to Le Havre last Saturday. Marseille are therefore certain to finish no lower than third in the Ligue 1 standings. “It is a beautiful thing to imagine I cannot lie to you. The ambiance would be crazy. That’s where this club belongs, that’s where these players belong”, said Rowe in an exclusive interview with Get French Football News.
