Man City star Aro Muric joining Vincent Kompany’s Burnley in £3m transfer ahead of new Championships season
VINCENT KOMPANY has convinced Manchester City goalkeeper Aro Muric to join Burnley, according to reports.
Muric, 23, is set to join Kompany at Burnley in a deal worth around £3million.
The Kosovan shot-stopper had been linked to a number of other clubs but is ultimately choosing to join Burnley due to Kompany’s pull, according to the Daily Mail.
Muric is said to be highly regarded at Man City, and the club are including a buy-back clause in the deal.
He has been on a number of loan moves away from Man City in the past few years.
A move to Nottingham Forest in 2019 was disappointing, but loan moves to the continent have proved much more fruitful for him.

Burnley are looking to bounce straight back to the Premier League after suffering the disappointment of relegation.
The club have lost a number of their star men following their drop down to the Championship, including goalkeeper Nick Pope and centre-back trio James Tarkowski, Ben Mee and Nathan Collins.
As a result, Kompany has been brought in to oversee a rebuild at the club, and has started his work by signing a host of younger talents.
Such signings include loan moves for defenders Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Ian Matsen, who join from Man City and Chelsea respectively.
