Fulham beat Manchester United to £25m Sander Berge signing after giving up on Scott McTominay

Fulham have agreed a deal worth £25million to sign Burnley midfielder Sander Berge .

Berge was due to undergo a medical in London on Tuesday after Fulham agreed to pay an initial £20m plus £5m in add-ons for the 26-year-old Norway international, who has been a summer transfer target for Manchester United.

Fulham have been looking to reinforce their midfield after selling Joao Palhinha to Bayern Munich.

Berge impressed in 37 Premier League appearances for Burnley last season despite their relegation to the Championship.

He is set to become Fulham’s fourth summer signing following the arrivals of Ryan Sessegnon, Jorge Cuenca and Emile Smith Rowe.

Fulham have swooped for Berge, who has 46 caps for Norway, after moving on from Scott McTominay after having bids turned down by Man United.

Berge moved to England in 2020 when he joined Sheffield United for £22m and he moved to Burnley last summer for £12m.

He has been left out of the Burnley squad for their first two games of the season and was today finalising his switch to Fulham, who started the new campaign with a 1-0 defeat against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Friday.

Marco Silva’s side host Leicester next at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
