Lorenz Assignon, a 24-year-old right-back from Rennes, did not wish to sign with Burnley at the end of last season, despite the club exercising a 10 million euro purchase option after his six-month loan spell in England.

Burnley is interested in purchasing Lorenz Assignon from Rennes. The player spent last season on loan at Burnley in the Premier League. However, Assignon prefers not to play in the Championship.

Burnley, relegated to the Championship, has indicated in a statement that it is discussing for the definitive transfer of Rennes' right-back Lorenz Assignon, loaned at the end of January with an option to buy. Formed by the Breton club, the dynamic Assignon (23 years old, under contract 2027) had succeeded at the start of the season to Hamari Traoré at the Rouge et Noir, but his situation changed with notably the arrival of Alidu Seidu in January. With the Clarets, Assignon missed only one day of Premier League due to suspension (15 matches, 2 assists, 1 goal).
