22 year old starlet, of Barcelona, is apparently a target for Burnley.
The pursuit was disclosed today by the Catalan publication Sport, which asserts that the Clarets are “very aware” of the 22-
year-old’s predicament.
Tenas’ contract with Barça expires in a few days, and the club can only hope that he will accept a new deal with them since
the clause for a renewal has lapsed.
Burnley is one of the clubs that are rumored to be interested in the scenario. It has been said that Vincent Kompany
informed the Clarets that they require a new goalkeeper.
Tenas has “good footwork,” according to Sport, and would be very beneficial for a manager trying to “apply a style of play
similar to that of Barça.”
The 22-year-old’s future at Camp Nou is still up for negotiation, and if the La Liga giants are unable to keep hold of him, it
is’very probable’ that Burnley will make an offer.
Tenas has been a member of Barcelona’s team since he was a young player, but despite a few appearances on the substitute
bench, he never made his professional debut for them.

New Southampton boss Russell Martin is expecting departures this summer following relegation to the Championship.
Nathan Tella made a big impression at Burnley during a loan spell from the Saints last season, scoring 19 goals in all
competitions.
His performances helped Vincent Kompany’s side win the Championship title and secure an immediate return to the top
flight.
Tella has been linked with a permanent move to Turf Moor ahead of the upcoming season, and Martin says there will be ins
and outs at Southampton in the coming weeks.
But the 37-year-old, who joined from Swansea, insists things can “change really quickly” in the transfer window.
“There will be people leaving, of course. That happens when you have such a tough season and you leave the Premier
League,” he told the club’s YouTube channel.
“But it’s also not as easy, I’ve been there. Every player thinks they will go back to the Premier League, but it’s not always that
easy. But we will lose people, there’s no doubt about it.
“The transfer window drags on far too long. Ideally, it would shut before the season starts – we might find ourselves in a
position where we have players playing for us who might still end up leaving.
“But it’s our job to navigate that as smoothly as possible. The players that are here – while they’re here, the only expectation
is they give everything they have got for the club and for themselves.
“If everyone does that, we will have no problem at all. If some people decide that is not their intention then they just won’t
be part of the group for long, so I hope that isn’t a problem.
“Of course, there will be people coming in and leaving. But I can’t give you any numbers yet because it’s something with no
certainty and it can change really quickly.”
