My try:
$underlineRightarrow :$ Assume $T$ is a normal linear transformation.



Therefore there exists a basis $B=leftX_1,...,X_nright$
for $M_ntimes :n^mathbbC$ that contains eigenvectors of $T$.



Assuming $lambda _j$ is an egienvalue of the egienvector $X_j$ then



$lambda _jX_j=T(X_j)=AX_j$



Therefore $lambda _j$ is an eigenvalue of A and $X_j$ is the corresponding egienvector of the eigenvalue $lambda _j$ . So we can conclude A has $n$ eigenvectors that form a basis for $M_ntimes :n^mathbbC$ and therefore A is normal.



the other direction can be showed in a similar manner.
In the proof I relied on a theorem that say: If $V$ is a finite vector space and $T:V to V$ is a linear transformation over $mathbbC$ then $T$ is normal iff there exists an orthonormal basis for $V$ that contains eigenvectors of $T$...



The same goes for A.



I Would like to know what you think about my proof please.

    You seem to think that "normal" means "diagonalizable", but "normal" is more. It means that $A^*A = AA^*$. Hence, the question arises which scalar product is used on $M_ntimes n^mathbb C$ to define the adjoint $T^*$. I guess it's $langle X,Yrangle := operatornameTr(XY^*)$.

Let us use the scalar product $(X,Y) := operatornameTr(XY^*)$ on $M_ntimes n^mathbb C$. Then
$$
(T(X),Y) = (AX,Y) = operatornameTr(AXY^*) = operatornameTr(XY^*A) = operatornameTr(X(A^*Y)^*) = (X,A^*Y).
$$
Hence, $T^*(Y) = A^*Y$. Now it is really simple to show that $T^*T = TT^*$ is equivalent to $A^*A = AA^*$.
