Journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu adds more details to a report from yesterday, stating that Jose Mourinho is the one pushing the potential move for Burnley midfielder Sander Berge at Fenerbahce. Sabuncuoğlu reported on Friday that Fenerbahce had opened preliminary talks with Burnley about Berge to ask about his situation ahead of potentially making a move for him this summer.
At the time, he offered little information about the possible transfer, only stating that Burnley had been contacted and it was something to watch. Now, he follows up and reports that the interest is because Jose Mourinho wants to expand his options for central midfield. “Studies and negotiations” are ongoing on that front, and Berge is one of the names Mourinho wants. No explanation is given for why this is the case, but it appears he is a fan of the Burnley midfielder and wants a move for him to be investigated. Fenerbahce is reportedly considering other names as well, but Berge is one to keep an eye on.
