Man Utd speak to Burnley about Weghorst | Besiktas: No exit clause
Manchester United have spoken to Burnley about signing striker Wout Weghorst on loan.United are waiting to find out if Burnley can come to an agreement with Besiktas to cut short his loan - and if the figures work. It is thought the player wants to make the move to Old Trafford.
But Besiktas sporting director Ceyhun Kazanci says any deal will only happen if the club is compensated, otherwise, Weghorst will see out his season-long loan.
In a statement, Besiktas said: "The claim that there is an exit clause in our player's contract, stating that his contract can be terminated with a compensation of 2.5m euros (£2.2m) in case of an offer from the Premier League, is fictitious.
"The news that the player in question will leave the team on Tuesday is completely untrue. The initiative regarding Wout Weghorst belongs entirely to Besiktas."
