VfL Bochum and FC Burnley have mutually agreed to terminate Michael Obafemi's loan deal immediately. The 25-year-old striker, a Republic of Ireland international with 12 caps and 2 goals, will not play for the Premier League club; instead, the Clarets are loaning him to the third-division side FC Blackpool. Obafemi will be on loan with the Seasiders until the end of the season. He made no appearances in the 2. Bundesliga for Bochum this season. The forward joined Burnley in July 2023, with his contract running until June 2027, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €1.00m.
