‘The biggest clubs want him’ – Agent says Kompany ‘tried his best’ to sign for Burnley in the summer
On deadline day, Burnley signed Genk’s Mike Trésor on loan with an obligation to buy if certain conditions were met.
The winger arrives at Turf Moor on the back of eight goals and 24 assists in 42 games for Genk last season, and his good form for them has attracted the attention of a number of clubs across Europe. Europe.
At least that’s what the agent of Burnley’s summer signing Sacha Ykovenko said in an interview with La Derniere Heure.
Last June, there were reports from Belgium that Burnley manager Vincent Kompany wanted to sign the 24-year-old, which has now been confirmed by the player’s representative.
“The biggest clubs in Italy want him, but they no longer want to pay big money after De Ketelaere’s failure in Milan. Spain [Spanish clubs] also wanted Trésor, but it was Kompany who gave his all and won it,” he said.
AC Milan are reported to have invested 35 million euros to sign Charles De Ketelaere from Club Brugge in 2022 and he has struggled in his first season at San Siro. This convinced the Serie A team to allow him to join Atalanta on a loan contract with an option to buy in the final transfer window.
Trésor has made three appearances for Burnley and is yet to score a goal or provide an assist for his new club.
