‘Everyone involved reached final agreement’ – Burnley agree potential €16m+ signing

Earlier on Sunday, we covered a report from Sky Deutschland which stated Wout Weghorst was on the verge of swapping VfL Wolfsburg for Burnley, with the Premier League club looking to replace Chris Wood, who joined relegation-rivals Newcastle United.

Bild, Germanys’ best selling newspaper, now bring an update on the situation.

According to their report on Sunday evening, ‘everyone involved has reached a final agreement’, and the Dutchman will now become a Burnley player. There’s nothing left to be agreed, with transfer fee and personal terms all sorted.

The transfer fee is put at £12m, around €14.5m, and it’s stated a further €2m bonus will be payable to the Bundesliga club should Burnley avoid relegation to the Championship this season.

Bild explain there was a time when the Dutch striker imagined himself moving to one of the top six clubs in the Premier League, however, the chance never came and that’s seen him accept a move to Burnley.
