Burnley have initiated discussions with Manchester United regarding a potential loan move for Hannibal Mejbri, which would include a mandatory purchase clause. The negotiations are ongoing, and no agreement has been reached yet as the terms proposed are not currently aligned with expectations.
Background on Hannibal Mejbri
Hannibal Mejbri, a 21-year-old midfielder, is currently under contract with Manchester United. He recently completed a loan spell at Sevilla, having joined the Spanish club in January 2024. Mejbri’s playing style is characterised by his technical skills and vision on the field.
Current Negotiations
Burnley have expressed interest in securing Mejbri on a loan deal that would obligate them to purchase the player at the end of the loan period. Talks have commenced between Burnley, Manchester United, and Mejbri’s representatives, but the terms of the deal are still under negotiation.
Previous Loan Move
Earlier this year, Mejbri moved to Sevilla on loan from Manchester United. This move was finalised in mid-January 2024, following a series of medical examinations and formalities. The loan to Sevilla was part of Manchester United’s strategy to provide the young midfielder with more first-team experience.
Next Steps
The outcome of the current negotiations between Burnley and Manchester United will depend on aligning the terms of the deal to meet the expectations of all parties involved. Further updates are anticipated as discussions progress.
