Burnley are in the market for new players following their relegation, with the latest reports linking them to Brazilian winger Sorriso. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to three possible arrivals and six potential exits. The hottest storyline right now concerns Middlesbrough's Dael Fry. Below is the latest news on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the Clarets.
Sorriso
On Friday, it was reported that Sorriso, a 25-year-old left winger from Famalicão, is of interest to Burnley, VfL Wolfsburg, and FC Braga. The German club has reportedly already held initial talks for the Brazilian. Sorriso is under contract with the Portuguese club until 2029, and Famalicão would reportedly let him leave for an offer between six and seven million euros. The winger, who has a market value of €5.00m according to Transfermarkt, recorded 5 goals and 4 assists in 33 Liga Portugal appearances during the 2025/2026 season.
Dael Fry
Burnley are assessing potential replacements for Maxime Esteve and have identified Middlesbrough captain Dael Fry as a target, according to a report on Thursday. The Clarets are monitoring the 27-year-old's contract situation, with TEAMtalk understanding his current deal is due to expire in a few days. While discussions over an extension with Middlesbrough are ongoing, an agreement has not been reached. Sources have told TEAMtalk that Fry's potential availability on a free transfer has made him an attractive option for several clubs, including Burnley, who have a genuine chance of reaching an agreement. Sheffield United have also been linked with the defender.
Maxime Estève
Liverpool are among three Premier League sides considering a move for Maxime Esteve. According to a TEAMtalk report on Thursday, Liverpool, Chelsea and Crystal Palace have all closely monitored the 23-year-old centre-back. Sources indicate that Burnley are increasingly accepting the possibility of losing the French player, with interest expected to intensify. While sources insist Liverpool have an interest, they have yet to make a formal move. On Tuesday, it was also reported that Liverpool had assessed Esteve during the past season in their search for a new central defender.
Quilindschy Hartman
On Monday, Voetbalprimeur.nl reported that Espanyol is close to signing Quilindschy Hartman from Burnley, describing the signing as impending. An earlier report from AS noted that Hartman is the main target for the Spanish club and that there is no need to negotiate between the clubs as both are owned by Alan Pace. The only requirement is to convince the player, who has already visited the RCDE Stadium.
Kyle Walker
There has been speculation about Kyle Walker's future, with the player having a desire to return to Sheffield United. However, according to The Star on Wednesday, the possibility of a return to Bramall Lane is remote unless he is prepared to accept a substantial reduction from his current salary. The contract Walker signed with Burnley last year is much larger than what Sheffield United could offer, making a transfer feasible only if he is willing to make a significant pay cut.
Armando Broja
Lazio are considering Armando Broja in their search for a new striker, as reported on Wednesday. The 24-year-old Albanian international does not want to remain at Burnley following their relegation. The English club's valuation is approximately 12 million euros, and a potential deal could be a loan with a buyout option.
Luca Koleosho
On Tuesday, it was reported that Genoa and Monza are interested in 21-year-old winger Luca Koleosho. The player, who was on loan at Paris FC from Burnley for the second half of last season, has a future that depends on the French club's decision on their option to buy him. This is currently uncertain as Paris FC considers the cost to be high. If the option is not exercised, Koleosho would return to Burnley, at which point the Italian clubs could attempt to sign him.
