According to a report from Het Belang van Limburg, the Belgian has been approached by both teams.

He will now have to decide whether he wants to remain at PSV for another season or pursue a move to a big club this summer.

He did admit to nearly signing for Burnley a year ago, stating: I received a call from (Vincent) Kompany last year, indeed. He then explained his vision.

That was nice. I clarified my view. It was a good conversation, but that was last summer.

Asked about the 2024/2025 season, he added: The only thing I can say is that next year I will be on a football pitch somewhere."
