Turkish Süper Lig giants Fenerbahçe have submitted an inquiry regarding the availability of Burnley midfielder, Sander Berge.
That’s according to an exclusive and fresh update from Turkish journalist and Sports Digitale reporter Yağız Sabuncuoğlu.
Burnley are in the midst of a rebuilding process under Scott Parker, who was recently appointed at Turf Moor, just over a month after Vincent Kompany’s well-documented and surprise exit to Bayern Munich after relegation from the Premier League was confirmed in May.
As is so often the case when a side comes down from the top flight, they face an onslaught of transfer rumours across the summer transfer window linking their most valuable names to Premier League sides or highly-reputable outfits across the continent.
And, despite a number of high-quality players still on the books in East Lancashire at present, this latest bout of speculation, which comes after another well-documented exit – Aro Muric to Ipswich Town – proves that Burnley will continue to face a battle between now and transfer deadline day to retain the services of some key names.

Highly-reputable Turkish transfer guru Sabuncuoğlu claims that the Norwegian central midfielder is of interest to Fenerbahce, who will be competing in the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds next week.
No further details in Sabuncuoğlu’s update regarding a potential transfer battle between Burnley and the Istanbul-based outfit – now managed by Jose Mourinho – have emerged, other than the fact that an inquiry has been submitted regarding Berge’s availability on the transfer market in the weeks to come.
If a deal was to be agreed further down the line, Berge would join a squad stacked with talent in the middle of the park, which includes former Manchester United midfielder Fred and Polish playmaker, Sebastian Symanski, both of whom netted as the ‘Special One’s new chargers imposed a 5-1 defeat on Hull City on Thursday at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium.
