Fulham Signs Burnley Midfielder Sander Berge

Fulham has agreed to sign Burnley midfielder Sander Berge for a fee of £20 million plus £5 million in add-ons, marking the Cottagers' fourth signing of the summer. Previously linked with Manchester United, Berge is set to undergo a medical in London as part of the transfer process. United had been interested in Berge, but their primary target remains PSG's Manuel Ugarte, leading Fulham to move forward with their bid. The decision to pursue Berge has resulted in Fulham ending their interest in United midfielder Scott McTominay. Berge's exclusion from Burnley's matchday squad this season was due to precautionary measures regarding injury, as confirmed by Burnley’s manager Scott Parker. This transfer highlights Fulham's aim to strengthen their midfield following Joao Palhinha's departure to Bayern Munich.
