According to the latest report from renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, Burnley Football Club has reached a verbal agreement with Manchester United for the transfer of Hannibal Maybury. The young midfielder is expected to undergo a medical with Burnley today and once the medical is successfully passed, the deal will be officially finalized.
Romano revealed that a loan agreement was signed between the two clubs and that it contained a compulsory buyout clause. This means that Burnley have the right to assess Hannibal Maybury's performance during the loan period and the right to buy him out permanently under certain conditions. Such a transfer provides Burnley with flexibility as well as preserving some future earnings for United.
Hannibal Maybury has been in the spotlight since joining Manchester United in the summer of 2019. However, his first-team appearances for United have been relatively limited, making just 13 appearances for United so far. Seeking more playing opportunities and workouts, Hannibal Mebri was loaned out to play for La Liga side Sevilla in the second half of last season. During his loan spell at Sevilla, he gained some playing experience and showed his potential.
Now, Burnley have seen the potential and ability of Hannibal Maybury and decided to recruit him. For Hannibal Maybury, joining Burnley will be a brand new challenge and opportunity. He is expected to get more chances to play in Burnley and continue to improve his strength and level in the game.
With the transfer matters becoming clearer, Burnley fans are looking forward to the joining of Hannibal Maybury. They believe the addition of the young midfielder will inject new energy and creativity into the team and help Burnley achieve better results in the new season.
