CJ Egan-Riley is set to leave Burnley following the expiration of his contract. The player opted against renewing his contract, choosing instead to begin a new chapter in his career in France. RMC Sport reported that his future is increasingly linked to Olympique Marseille, who consider Egan-Riley a priority for strengthening their defense in the upcoming season. Negotiations between the involved parties are ongoing and progressing well. Originally hailing from Manchester, Egan-Riley had a standout season with Burnley, significantly contributing to their promotion to the Premier League with 41 appearances and helping maintain a defense that allowed only 16 goals in the Championship. His impressive performances also led to his selection for the England Under-21 European Championship squad. Now, he faces a promising opportunity in Ligue 1 with Marseille, who are relying on him for both the league and a prospective debut in the Champions League. This transfer could represent a pivotal moment in the career of the English defender.
