Burnley close to Marcel Regula deal worth up to eight million euros | OneFootball

Burnley are closing in on Marcel Regula, with the Premier League club preparing an offer worth up to eight million euros. According to Glorioso 1904, the Polish forward had previously been considered by Benfica.

The 19-year-old is now seen as close to leaving Zagłębie Lubin for England. He had also been monitored by Cologne.

Benfica ended their pursuit due to Zagłębie Lubin’s financial demands. The Polish club were seeking around 10 million euros for the 19-year-old, a figure Rui Costa was unwilling to meet.

Polish media had already viewed a move to Benfica as improbable, particularly after the Lisbon hierarchy judged the terms too steep. With that avenue largely shut, English football gained traction as the player’s next destination.

Regula’s 2025/26 campaign helps explain the interest. Valued at around seven million euros, he made 32 competitive appearances for Zagłębie, 31 in the league and one in the Polish Cup. Across 2,239 minutes he recorded seven goals and three assists.
