"Ipswich Town have completed the signing of midfielder Marcelino Nunez from East Anglia rivals Norwich City for a reported 10m. The Chile international spent three years at Carrow Road, making 119 appearances, the last in a 2-1 win at Portsmouth on 16 August, a game in which he had to go off with an ankle injury. He is the first player to move from Norwich to Ipswich - who are both in the Championship this season - since goalkeeper Andy Marshall in 2001."
"and has agreed a four-year contract. Nunez scored the winning goal for Norwich in the most recent derby game in April 2024 and Marshall has warned that he can expect a tough reception from Canaries fans in future. The two teams will meet for the first time this season in a 12:00 kick-off at Ipswich's Portman Road ground on Sunday 5 October. The Tractor Boys may look to him to fill the midfield fulcrum role previously held by Sam Morsy."
