Sara departed São Paulo in 2022. He played 120 matches and scored 17 goals during his time at the club.[5]

Norwich City

[edit | edit source]

On 15 July 2022, EFL Championship club Norwich City agreed a £6 million transfer fee plus add-ons with São Paulo for Sara, with the player committing to a contract until 2026.[6] Sara made his debut for Norwich on 6 August 2022, coming on as a substitute for the injured Max Aarons in a 1–1 draw with Wigan Athletic. Sara scored his first goal for Norwich in a 3–2 loss to Preston North End, and scored again three weeks later in a 3–1 win against Stoke City at Carrow Road.

Sara would score again in Norwich's 3–1 win over Hull City[7] on 14 February 2023, before netting in back-to-back games in the Canaries' 2–0 win over Cardiff City,[8] and scoring the winner in a 3–2 victory away to play-off chasing Millwall.[9] He won the barry butler memorial trophy for NCFCs player of the season in 2023.

A goal and two assists across the first month of the 2023–24 season saw Sara named EFL Championship Player of the Month award for August.[10] Later in the season, Sara proved a crucial part of Norwich city's bid for a play off spot, scoring a vital goal against Preston late on. In April 2024 at the EFL Awards, Sara was named in the EFL Championship Team of the Season.[11]
