Burnley will demand £50million for defender James Tarkowski during the transfer window.
The 27-year-old was courted by Leicester last summer and is set to be in demand again after a solid season for the Clarets, who finished 10th in the Premier League after performing impressively post-lockdown.
Yet it is thought Burnley currently have no intention of negotiating the release clause in Tarkowski’s contract, given the difficulty of buying a replacement of the same level if he is sold.
Leicester showed strong interested in Tarkowski 12 months ago but could not agree a deal and eventually gave Caglar Soyuncu an extended run in central defence, which paid off as he and Jonny Evans were one of the league’s best partnerships for much of the campaign.
