Burnley will have to be persuasive to sign former Manchester City player – He’s got other ideas.

Burnley plans to re-enter the English market in the winter transfer window with Carlos Forbs, a former Manchester City youth product.

The 19-year-old attended Manchester City’s academy for eight years before joining Ajax last summer. He didn’t play for the senior team when he departed the Citizens.

In just 25 games this season—including just six league starts—the winger has two goals and four assists. Burnley is one of the teams in the photo that is interested in signing him because of his popularity.

Verbal International claims the Clarets have expressed interest in the Portugal U21 international, and they are correct. It is clarified that negotiations between Vincent Kompany’s team and the Dutch club have taken place, and the latter is open to receiving proposals for the attacker.

His present contract expires in 2028.

The Eredivisie team gave Manchester City €14 million, and the outlet doesn’t specify how much was required to wrest Forbs away from Ajax.

This month, Burnley needs to convince the former Manchester City player to sign with them. Even while Ajax is prepared to let go, VI claims he wants to stay at the Amsterdam club, which is why negotiations between the two teams are at a “standstill” at the moment.
