Lazio and Seville are also interested in Zian Flemming’s services, it reports The Telegraph Thursday evening. After Burnley’s previous interest, Millwall’s attacking midfielder can therefore sign in three absolute top competitions: in the Premier League, LaLiga and Serie A. Flemming is still in London for a long time, which gives the Championship club a favorable negotiating position. Previously, a million-dollar offer was decisively swept aside.
The Clarets now have an offer on the table of ten million euros, excluding bonuses. Wout Weghorst’s club does not want to increase that offer for the time being, while Millwall is not prepared to compromise. The interest of Lazio and Sevilla may prompt the English PhD candidate to make a new offer, as the Champions League participants emphatically follow Flemming. Burnley will have to act quickly to beat the top European clubs. The 24-year-old Amsterdammer himself would be open to a step higher.
Flemming quickly made himself popular with Millwall’s fanatical supporters in his first season in England. So far, the right leg has played 44 official duels in the service of the Lions, in which he was good for 15 goals and 3 assists. Flemming is seen in London as ‘the bargain of 2022’, having cost Millwall just 2.5 million euros. A year later, the English can make more than 8 million euros in profit, but the club management is aiming for a higher transfer fee.
Fortuna Sittard can benefit from a possible transfer, as the Limburgers negotiated a resale percentage last summer. How high that percentage is is still unknown. Flemming has a good chance of a basic place at all three clubs, as the competition in his position is not too bad. With a choice for Lazio or Sevilla, Ajax’s youth product will play European football for the first time in its professional career. As a Europa League winner, Sevilla is in pot 1, just like Feyenoord. Lazio, number two in Serie A, is placed in pot 3.
