Only the Sun claims a deal has been done. No other mention of the £11m offer being accepted.

"Fulham want incomings too, though, and one man that could be arriving is Lewis Grabban. The forward has been linked with a number of clubs recently but as of 10:37 in the Mirror’s transfer blog today, it is the men from Craven Cottage leading the race.
And, finally, Norwich City could be set for a windfall of £11 million with The Sun reporting that Premier League side Huddersfield want Alex Pritchard. The attacker is a class player and it seems as though the Canaries are going to have to turn down big money if they want to keep him.
I WOULDN'T class it as a 'windfall' even if it did happen at that price. Lazy Journos!!!
It's funny that when we bought Pritchard for £8.5m, many on here said it was a panic buy and even a waste of money. I think he's our most salable asset in a position where we're well stocked. IMO if he leaves it will be for £13m+ and that could be used well in our current restructuring, both now and in the summer.
We need a third striker desperately. Our chances of making the play-offs are slim at best and of the two, I'd rather keep Maddison. Much as I like Pritchard, I've always felt that he's only passing through to the PL.

Pritchard @ £11m it will be hard to see this being rejected, unless Webber decides it only £2.5m above the buying price and holds out for more. If Huddersfield Town up their offer to £12m then this will surely be enough. What did Jacob M sell for? Can’t see DF spending anything like this on a replacement but let’s hope whoever it is (all this is of course hypothetical) he can do a good job for us. If Pritchard goes then Maddison must stay!
I'm not sure anyone said either of those things about buying Pritchard. I like most was confused at our buying a player for so much, in a position we were well stocked rather than one we weren't. But having bought him I think everyone was excited by having got someone of his quality at market rate (I'd say) Then pee'd off at AN not using him grrr. Agree about funds of >£13m maybe being of better use on a striker that fits Farkes game plan. but could we get someone good enough? even if we wanted to spend all £13m on a striker, they would want more than we could pay in wages. for that reason I'd rather keep him. As I see it sell him or Maddison and we just can' replace with better, so we likely get worse. Pritchard looks key to me in getting us scoring.
As for passing through, I think you have to say the same for Maddison and any PL quality player we will have. Maddison will be here longer because he arrived earlier in his development curve but make no mistake he's in a hurry to play PL and get the trappings of that too.
Bah!
Spot on General and what beggar's belief in my eyes (and I'm sure almost EVERY NCFC fan/supporter) is WHY AN chose to play NEITHER, purely so he could select Naismith in almost EVERY game!!!
Totally agree re JM, as he came from league 2 Coventry and I guess the PL was but a distant dream when he signed for us, but his spell at Aberdeen and his coaching since has made him HOT property and I should imagine he will have several PL teams chasing his signature when he is sold.
Edit - I saw yesterday that he has won NCFC PotM for the 4th month running and he managed to get Pedro's shirt on Saturday!!!
Have they picked up on the "15M" from reading this forum!?
Timm Klose wanted by ex club Basle, as KIO has shown. Can't remember how much we paid for him, but I imagine he would go for £6-7m to Switzerland. This would leave us with Hanley, Zimmer and Raggett. Is that enough? Not if we are going to play 3 on defence.
