LIAM MILLAR is being eyed up by Premier League relegated duo Burnley and Sheffield United.
And the Basel midfielder, 24 has also attracted interest from several Championship clubs.
That includes Preston, where he spent last season on loan and Sunderland as well as a number of European sides.
Millar has one year left on his contract with the Swiss Super League side and that has alerted Vincent Kompany’s side as well as the Blades.
But the ex-Liverpool star scored five goals for Ryan Lowe’s Lilywhites in 35 second-tier matches.
The Canadian international was involved in 13 goal contributions across the campaign – three for Basel and ten for Preston.
And that was with Millar playing out of position as a wing-back.
Millar joined Liverpool’s academy at the age of 16 and made one first-team appearance in an FA Cup tie against Shrewsbury in 2020.
He had spells at Scottish club Kilmarnock and Charlton on loan before leaving Anfield for Basel in a £1.3m deal in 2021.
Last September, Millar joined Preston on a season-long loan.
