He's a free agent - that tends to trump form in a lot of cases. Signing him would be fairly low-risk for a club that's a bit strapped at the moment. That said, the same is true for any English club that wants to sign him and I'd be surprised if he left for less money in Italy.Quote:

In the end Newcastle or the like will just double his wages and he will stay in England
He was definitely out of sorts in his last game for ireland but I thought over the season he had improved with Burnley the more he played and he pretty much nailed his first team spot.Quote:

It could be that having been linked with one of them, the others have taken a look. Free is good sauce.
It is possibly just his agent releasing rumours to bump up the perception of demand to help with negotiations.
I would guess the most likely explanation is that the papers invent the majority of these rumours, and having been linked with one Italian club, it's an obvious rumour to invent.
I remember Marco Tardelli saying he recommended him to Italian clubs at one point.Quote:

After his performances in Euro 2016 and when he was sold to for £13m to Burnley, I felt vindicated...
He's walked out on Burnley, could face serious legal ramifications along with Aaron Lennon, Phil Bardsley and Joe Hart, who have all refused to see out their existing contracts which don't expire until June 30.
Thats only a week away.. Its not as if they would be that committed in that week especially with the Covid-19 restrictions ! !Quote:

I think Hendrick could actually be a good fit to Kenny's style of play but it would help if he's playing a similar way regularly at club level.
There's far more to that story I imagine
There's a twitter rumor that he's being offered another deal, a full new deal.Quote:

Burnley. Hendrick has now been offered a deal. Yet to sign it. But at least it’s an effort by the money men ...
I find it unbelievable that someone would refuse to honor their contact. Both Hendrick and Brady have been eligible to sign pre-contract agreements since January 1 but have not done so, choosing to run the clock down. What would be the difference between refusing to play these fixtures if they took place back in March or April? They are both under contract until June 30, not May 5.
You've never given an employer notice and immediately went on holiday? (And this is their normal holiday period!) You've never swung the lead on your last week at a job?Quote:

6 days left vs 90 days is a 1500% difference.Quote:

Three months of access to an elite sports club's medical staff and facilities, and three months to recover before potentially failing a fitness test for a contract worth millions of quid. What do you want from Hendrick? Go out an bust a nut and risk millions for a company that's told him they don't rate him enough to pay him what he's worth?
Notions of honour and all that are all well and good, but a wealthy corporation doesn't give a **** about you any more than they are required by law to. Some of that comes back around once in a while.

Maybe he had been taking flying lessons?

Burnley have confirmed that Jeff Hendrick will depart the club when his contract expires on 30 June.
The Republic of Ireland midfielder was among a group of players left out of the Premier League club's matchday squad for the defeat at Manchester City on Monday, with manager Sean Dyche citing the contract situation of those whose deals were on the point of expiration.
"The club was unable to agree terms on a new deal with the Republic of Ireland international," Burnley confirmed on their official website on Wednesday.
