Loaned from Borussia Mönchengladbach last summer for the season, few Burnley fans had huge expectations about Jordan Beyer.
However, the young defender quickly showed what he was capable of, becoming an integral part of Vincent Kompany’s plans at Turf Moor, to.
Those behind the scenes at Burnley were clearly hoping for this, as they included a €15m option to buy in the deal, which they now aim to trigger, as they aimed to get back in the Premier League and potentially keep the German around.
That’s what Bild are reporting on Wednesday, claiming that Burnley ‘want to keep him after promotion’, and while the player would be ‘important’ for Gladbach as a ‘real homegrown player’, they would also be ‘only too happy to collect’ the pre-agreed €15m purchase option.
This suggests Kompany and the Burnley hierarchy have decided to spend the money on Beyer, meaning we can probably see a bit more progress in this matter over the next few weeks.
