Burnley made a fresh offer for the signing of Anderlecht goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, according to claims from Belgium.
Nieuwsblad today writes that the Clarets showed up with a new attempt to sign the player, this time with a €15m bid.
That amount, however, wasn’t enough for a deal with Anderlecht yet. It’s said the request is for €20m, and they made Burnley a counter-offer.
The report claims that there are ‘very high’ chances those figures will be ‘pushed harder’ in the coming days, so that doesn’t look like a big setback in the Clarets’ pursuit.
The Belgium side turned down that offer and it looks like the right decision, as they’re now pushing to get a transfer for several times more.
With Burnley now promoted to the Premier League and with a bigger budget in their hands, that seems to be the prefect opportunity for the clubs to finally get to a deal.
According to Nieuwsblad, the goalkeeper’s future ‘undoubtedly lies in England’.
