Burnley, currently navigating the challenges of the Premier League from the lower echelons, is actively pursuing the acquisition of Olympique de Marseille’s talented midfielder, Pape Alassane Gueye, as the winter transfer window beckons.
The 24-year-old Senegalese international, with only six months left on his contract with Marseille, has become a subject of avid interest in England.
While negotiations for a contract renewal are underway at OM, Burnley, along with other Premier League clubs like Brentford, Nottingham Forest, and Fulham, has emerged as a potential suitor.
The latest reports suggest that Burnley, led by coach Vincent Kompany, has intensified its efforts to secure the services of Pape Gueye.
In a bold move, Burnley is reportedly prepared to present a substantial offer exceeding €17 million (€15 million pounds Sterling) to Marseille for the African champion’s signature.
This initiative reflects Burnley’s commitment to strengthening its squad during the transfer window, aiming to elevate its position in the Premier League standings.
The Clarets, currently positioned at 19th in the Championship, recognize the potential of Pape Gueye and are eager to secure his talents.
Pape Gueye’s entourage reportedly views the prospect of a move to the English championship with enthusiasm.
The player, who came close to joining Watford in the summer of 2020, may find a new chapter in his career with Burnley, should negotiations progress successfully.
As the transfer saga unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Pape Gueye will remain an Olympique de Marseille player or embark on a new adventure in the English Premier League, with Burnley keen on securing his services.
