According to A Bola, Marcus Edwards has joined Burnley on loan from Sporting until the season concludes. The announcement confirms that Edwards will strengthen Burnley's squad, with an option for Burnley to purchase him for 10 million euros, a clause that becomes obligatory if the team secures promotion to the Premier League. Edwards indicated that his prior relationship with Scott Parker, whom he had met during his tenure at Spurs, played a crucial role in his choice to move to Burnley.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Marcus Edwards, who was previously targeted by Olympiakos, is set to join Burnley on loan. Burnley has reached a verbal agreement with Sporting Lisbon and the player, with Scott Parker playing a key role in the negotiations. The loan deal is valued at €1 million, with a mandatory purchase option set at €12 million based on specific conditions. Sporting Lisbon will also retain a 10% sell-on clause.
Rui Borges, the coach of Sporting, did not confirm the departure of Marcus Edwards to Burnley. He mentioned that Edwards is not a problem and if both the player and the club think that leaving is the best solution, then it's acceptable. Edwards is not currently a solution for the coach, and the transfer could be seen as liberating a player who is not getting enough playtime.
