Club have ‘refused’ Burnley’s first bid for defender – Clarets already ready to ‘increase’ offer

Following the news that Burnley had made an offer to Anderlecht for Noah Sadiki, there has been a quick update from Belgium.

This comes from Sacha Tavolieri, who makes it clear the Jupiler Pro League club have ‘refused’ the first offer, worth €1m, from the Clarets.

Those in charge of Burnley are said to ‘want to increase the offer’ with a second bid, this time by adding some bonuses and a ‘percentage of a capital gain’, meaning a chunk of any future profit the newly promoted club would make from a sale down the line.

Meanwhile, Vincent Kompany’s side are getting everything ready for when Anderlecht do eventually accept the offer, as there is a four-year contract ‘ready on the table’ for the youngster.

Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca is said to be keen on Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford, who is also apparently attracting interest from Premier League side Burnley.

The Sun’s transfer specialist Alan Nixon claims the Man City chief has a “huge” decision to make on Trafford after the U21 European Championships are over.

Although Leicester are reported to be interested in a loan deal for the highly-rated keeper, Burnley hope to take Trafford on a permanent deal if the clubs can agree a price. The Clarets are also said to have made a low bid for Antwerp’s French keeper Jean Butez in case they miss out on Trafford.
