Sheffield United have agreed to the transfer of Sander Berge to Burnley with immediate effect.
Attempts to persuade the Norwegian international to sign a new contract have been unsuccessful and consequently, after negotiations, the club have reluctantly accepted Burnley's latest, undisclosed, bid.
"We did not want to lose Sander, particularly this close to the start of the Premier League season, but after the player expressed a strong interest to leave, we spoke to Burnley to get the best possible deal for Sheffield United," said Blades chief executive officer, Stephen Bettis. "Since his arrival at the club, Sander has been a popular member of the squad and it was hoped he would once again shine at Bramall Lane in the Premier League.
"Unfortunately, along with his representatives, he has opted to move to Burnley and we would like to place on record our thanks for his service over the past three and a half years."
Midfielder Berge, 25, joined the Blades in January 2020 from Belgian club Genk. He made a total of 89 starts, 20 substitute appearances and scored 15 goals, the last of which helped the club secure promotion in the victory over West Bromwich Albion in April.
