FC Burnley scouts attended Werder Bremen's recent 1:0 home win against Union Berlin for the specific purpose of observing Karim Coulibaly. A club-affiliated portal reported that Coulibaly's contract is valid until 2029 and lacks a release clause.

According to a report from 'Bild', scouts from Burnley were present to specifically observe centre-back Abdoul Karim Coulibaly during a Werder Bremen match, and making contact is considered a potential next step. The Premier League club is reportedly not the only team interested in the 18-year-old German U19 international. Top clubs from England, Portugal, and Italy are also said to be monitoring him, and an unnamed interested party has reportedly already indicated a potential offer of between €15 million and €20 million.
