Arijanet ‘Aro’ Muric, a goalkeeper for Burnley and a Premier League backup, may be playing in the Champions League in 2024 if Union Berlin signs a January deal with them.
James Trafford may have gained notoriety during England’s successful U21 European Championship campaign with that penalty save, but Burnley’s decision to invest £19 million in a player who was playing third-tier football on loan at Bolton Wanderers just last season was not primarily motivated by his track record from 12 yards.

Trafford followed in the footsteps of Aro Muric, another Man City graduate, when he moved to Turf Moor over the summer. Aro Muric may depart Burnley for the Bundesliga. Since then, the former has replaced the latter between the sticks. Sky Germany thinks that Muric’s future at Burnley is now in doubt as a result.

However, finding first-team football would not necessarily be any easier in the German city. Frederick Ronnow, a former target of Nottingham Forest, is one of Union’s underestimated goalkeepers in all of European soccer.
