Burnley winger linked with move to Serie A clubs

Serie A clubs Genoa and Monza are exploring a deal to sign Burnley winger Luca Koleosho this summer.

Koleosho joined Burnley from Espanyol in the summer of 2023 for a fee of £2.6 million.

The Italian international played 15 times in the Premier League in his first season as the Clarets were relegated, before featuring on 28 occasions as they immediately secured promotion back to the top-flight.

He found himself on the fringes of the first team last season and was subsequently loaned out to former club Espanyol.

After a difficult first half of the season, Koleosho then spent the remainder of the campaign with Paris FC in Ligue 1 where he scored three goals in 18 appearances.

Italian news outlet CalcioMercato have claimed that Genoa and Monza are looking to secure Koleosho's signature this summer.

The 21-year-old still has three years remaining on his current contract at Turf Moor and he may be tempted to pursue a move after being frozen out by former manager Scott Parker.

Burnley may also be looking to cash in on the player to raise funds ahead of what they hope will be a promotion challenge next season.

However, Koleosho's departure could depend on the club's next manager.

The Clarets are still looking for a permanent replacement for Parker and it remains to be seen whether Koleosho will fit into any future plans or not.
