Norwich City defender Timm Klose is returning to Switzerland to join Basel.
The 32-year-old Swiss international has been lined up to replace Basel defender Omar Alderete who is heading to Hertha Berlin.
Klose has made over 120 appearances for Norwich since joining from Wolfsburg in 2016. Basel have made two attempts to sign Klose previously during the centre-back's time at Carrow Road but are close to finalising terms this time with a nominal fee.
Paraguay international Alderete is joining Hertha on an initial loan with option to buy.
