Burnley have been linked with a move for the Leeds United star, Mateusz Klich.
Burnley were linked with a pair of central midfielders within a single Sun newspaper report at the weekend. One being Ruslan Malinovskiy of Genk, and the other being Mateusz Klich of Leeds United.
The Sun claimed that Malinovskiy could be off to Burnley in a £19 million double deal, including his clubmate, the right-back, Joakim Maehle.
But it added that Klich was also being considered as part of a surprise move, for which the Clarets camp are ‘split on how much to offer’ Leeds.
We may be about to find out, however, with Malinovskyi seemingly heading to Italy with Atalanta.
According to HLN, the Ukrainian underwent a medical in Bergamo on Sunday evening, after the Genk sporting director, Dimitri de Condé, confirmed that a fee of €13 million (around £11.7m) plus bonuses was agreed between the two clubs.
Assuming a deal goes through, Burnley’s focus could soon turn to Klich, who enjoyed a strong revival at Leeds last season.
And having recently entered the final year of his contract, that prospect is sure to worry anyone of a Leeds persuasion.
