Although the sight of Han-Noah Massengo donning the colours of another English club following a free transfer may be hard for Bristol City fans to stomach, from a financial perspective for the club it’s the best-case scenario.
Massengo will leave City at the end of June when his four-year contract expires as even though the Robins detailed in their released list last week that the 21-year-old has been offered a new deal, it’s to enable compensation rather than presenting any credible route for him to stay at Ashton Gate.
According to Foot Mercato, Burnley are interested in signing Massengo this summer with manager Vincent Kompany having attended Auxerre’s Ligue 1 encounter with PSG on May 21, while the midfielder’s former coach at Monaco and mentor Thierry Henry worked with Kompany in the Belgium set-up.
