Burnley midfielder ‘preparing his transfer’ away from Clarets – Could return to home country
It seems Burnley midfielder Samuel Bastien could still be on his way out of the club this summer.
This information is brought by Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, who on Twitter, features an update on the 26-year-old’s situation.
It’s claimed that Bastien’s move back to Belgium is a ‘possibility’, as the player is ‘preparing his transfer’ away from Burnley.
The midfielder, who joined the Clarets on a €800k move from Standard Liege last summer, only made 24 appearances for the English club, and wasn’t used by Vincent Kompany this season yet.
The report doesn’t make it clear whether there are advanced talks for Bastien to join some specific club, or if the player is just looking around to seek a new destination.
His contract with Burnley runs until 2025, and he’s currently valued by Transfermarkt at €1.8m.
In other news, Tavolieri adds that the Clarets’ owners are ‘close’ to acquiring a Belgian club, with sources telling him there are advanced talks for the takeover of KV Kortrijk. But that’s another story which should get followed by more details soon.
