Burnley FC summer transfer moves

Entities: Ugo Raghouber · Lille OSC · OGC Nice · Burnley FC · Burnley Football Club

Overview

In late July 2026, Burnley Football Club intensified its transfer activity by targeting two French players. On 25 July, the club prepared bids for OGC Nice centre‑back Kojo Peprah Oppong, whose breakout season and World Cup exposure had raised his market value, and for Lille defensive midfielder Ugo Raghouber, with a fee estimated around €5 million. These moves were aimed at filling gaps left by the departure of Maxime Estève to RB Leipzig and limited midfield depth.

Three days later, on 28 July, Burnley confirmed the signing of Ugo Raghouber from Lille on a four‑year contract. The fee was undisclosed. Raghouber, 23, expressed happiness at joining the club. The confirmation completed one of the targets identified in the earlier report, while the pursuit of Peprah Oppong remained open.
