By According to reports, Burnley, a Premier League team, is in advanced talks with FC Basel to recruit 22-year-old forward Zeki Amdouni. The teams’ negotiations have advanced substantially, according to sources from Foot Mercato, as Burnley looks to improve its offensive options.
A meeting between Amdouni and Burnley manager Vincent Kompany has already taken place. Amdouni is a Swiss young international who has scored 9 goals in 15 games for the Swiss youth side. The conversations with former Anderlecht manager Kompany have reportedly made a good effect on the young forward.
All parties concerned are reportedly in the advanced stages of negotiation; Amdouni is currently bound by a contract till June 2027. Burnley, who was just promoted to the Premier League, is eager to complete the transaction as soon as possible to prevent competition from other interested teams in the top five leagues in Europe.
The clubs are trying to finalise the finer points of the transfer deal, and the possible transfer price for Amdouni is anticipated to be about €18 million. The fact that Burnley is pursuing Amdouni adds to Vincent Kompany’s rising success in the transfer market as he works to bolster the team.
Amdouni’s arrival to Burnley, should the transfer go through, would provide them more firepower in their offensive department. The club has taken notice of the young player’s potential and goal-scoring skills, and they are keen to sign him as they get ready for the rigours of the forthcoming season.
The discussions were still going on as of Monday afternoon, and Burnley is still optimistic that the transaction would be finalised soon. Zeki Amdouni’s probable acquisition would not only be a big help to Burnley but also proof of Vincent Kompany’s effectiveness in influencing the team’s transfer policy.
