Fulham Signs Sander Berge from Burnley for £25 Million

LONDON (AP) — Fulham has officially signed Norwegian midfielder Sander Berge from relegated Burnley for a reported fee of £25 million ($32.8 million). The 25-year-old has inked a five-year contract with the club, stepping in to fill the void left by Joao Palhinha, who recently transferred to Bayern Munich. Berge expressed his excitement about the move, stating, “It’s been a little bit back and forth the last few weeks, but I’m finally sitting here in the shirt in this beautiful stadium, knowing that my future is here, which feels great.” Berge, who previously played for Sheffield United in the Premier League, is expected to make an immediate impact at Fulham. He could potentially debut for his new team in their upcoming match against Leicester City on Saturday. The signing marks a significant addition to Fulham's midfield as they aim to strengthen their squad following Palhinha's departure. In other transfer news, Liverpool has sold 19-year-old midfielder Bobby Clark to Austrian club Salzburg for a reported £10 million ($13 million). Clark was part of the Liverpool squad that secured the English League Cup last season, showcasing his potential as a promising young talent. As the transfer window continues, clubs are actively reshaping their rosters, with Fulham and Liverpool making notable moves to enhance their competitive edge in the Premier League and beyond.
