Fulham Signs Burnley Midfielder Berge For £25M
Fulham have signed Burnley midfielder Sander Berge in a £25m deal.
The Norway international has penned a five-year deal at Craven Cottage and the club have the option of extending that by a further 12 months.
Fulham will pay an initial £20m for the midfielder, with a further £5m in add-ons.
Berge, 26, joined Burnley from Sheffield United in 2023 and was voted the Clarets’ player of the year as they were relegated to the Championship.
“It feels fantastic,” said Berge.
“It’s been a little bit back and forth the last few weeks, but I’m finally sitting here in the shirt in this beautiful stadium, knowing that my future is here, which feels great.”
The midfielder becomes Fulham’s fourth signing of the transfer window, following the arrivals of Emile Smith Rowe, Jorge Cuenca and Ryan Sessegnon.
Berge, who played 37 times for Burnley last season, has been left out of both of the Clarets’ Championship fixtures so far this term.
The midfielder has been capped 46 times by Norway.
Fulham host Leicester City on 24 August in their first home match of the Premier League season.
