Partick Thistle can confirm that Aidan Fitzpatrick has been granted permission to speak to Norwich City regarding a permanent transfer.
CEO Gerry Britton said:
“To be honest, we want to keep Aidan at the Club and had already turned down several bids from Norwich, the only Club to approach us about him.
“However, he and his advisers believe that this latest offer is too good to turn down. Having made it clear there was nothing we could do to change their minds, with great reluctance we agreed to let him speak to them, as we believe he still could have made further progress at Thistle.
“Aidan will now head south for a medical and if that is ok, the deal will be concluded thereafter.”
Once confirmed, the deal would provide an unexpected but significant financial boost for the Club in the short and long term. For now, it would allow the Board to provide additional funds to the manager as he closes in on key targets for the season ahead, as well as funding a potential replacement for Aidan.
