Vincent Kompany provides update on Maxwel Cornet's Burnley future amid Newcastle United links

Vincent Kompany claims Burnley have received a number of 'good offers' for Maxwel Cornet after an impressive opening season in the Premier League. The Ivorian was one of the standout players for the Clarets last season, in a disappointing campaign that ended in relegation.

The new Burnley boss is preparing for life without the 25-year-old, who looks set to leave Turf Moor this summer. Reports claim Cornet has a relegation release clause of £17million inserted into his contract.

"I don't know close it is, it is no secret there is a couple of clubs in for him and a couple of clubs have made good offers," Kompany told LancsLive after the game at Shrewsbury. "We have to prepare probably for a period after him and that is what we are doing. I am not saying Maxwel has gone, he has offers."
