The teenager could be the next to arrive at Turf Moor.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Burnley has submitted a signing offer to Anderlecht defender Noah Sadiki, and discussions
with the player’s agency are progressing.
What are the most recent transfers at Burnley?
Prior to their return to the Premier League for the 2023–24 season, the Clarets and Vincent Kompany lost no time in
expanding their roster.
In the previous 48 hours, Romano posted a transfer report from Turf Moor regarding Burnley and Sadiki on Twitter. The
transfer expert disclosed that negotiations with the player’s agency are progressing and that an offer of about €1 million has
been made.
Burnley has made an official offer for Belgian fullback Noah Sadiki; a deal worth approximately €1 million is being explored
with Anderlecht.
“Contacts with player’s agent Christopher Mandiangu are progressing.”
Who is Noah Sadiki?
Sadiki is just 18 years of age and is primarily a right-back who can also play on the left or even in a holding midfield role if
required.
The Belgian has come through Anderlecht’s academy, so Kompany may have been keeping an eye on him during his time as
manager of the Jupiler Pro League side.
Hailed as one of Anderlecht’s “highly talented” teenagers by football talent scout Jacek Kulig, Sadiki has made 19 senior
appearances for his current employers, turning out in numerous positions.
He’s valued at a career-high €2m by Transfermarkt and is out of contract in just over 12 months time, so Burnley could be
making a shrewd signing, if their €1m bid is accepted.
The Belgium U20 international could come in and rival the likes of O’Shea, Connor Roberts and Vitinho at right-back, or he
could be initially sent out on loan with a view to breaking through into the first team in the future, but it looks as if a transfer
is one to watch over the coming weeks.
At a combined cost of €22 million, center back Jordan Beyer joined from Borussia Monchengladbach, and full back Dara
O’Shea joined from West Brom. However, with Sadiki on the club’s radar, there might be other defensive signings over the
ensuing weeks.
