Tom Lawrence is now able to discuss a potential exit with clubs and sign a pre-contract agreement, having entered the final six months of his contract. Burnley have received encouragement to pursue Lawrence if they are unsuccessful in acquiring Morgan Whittaker. Besiktas has also been mentioned as a club interested in signing Lawrence, indicating the midfielder's attractiveness in the transfer market. Clinton Morrison, a veteran of the English Football League, commented on the possible transfer and suggested that Burnley should consider Lawrence as a viable alternative if Whittaker is not available. He implied that Lawrence's availability is an opportunity not to be dismissed.
