Jensen’s agent, Mickey Walsh today has isued a warning to Burnley that the keeper could leave for Portugal on a free in the summer if a new contract is not negotiated.
‘He can leave on a Bosman free transfer,’ Walsh told the Daily Express. ‘He’d love to play for Porto, Benfica or Sporting Lisbon.’
It is difficult to know where the link to Portugal has come from and indeed whether any of the three Portuguese clubs mentioned are remotely interested in the Dane but something has clearly upset the agent.
The Beast is just one of a number of players out of contract at the club in the summer and one wonders if the agent’s statement is a passing shot at the bows of Burnley FC following speculation that Brian Laws could be interested in bringing Sheffield Wednesday keeper, Lee Grant to Turf Moor.
The club seem awash with keepers at the moment with Diego Penny and Jonathan Lund on our books and it had been thought that any new keeper coming in would effectively mean one of the second strng keepers would be released.
Jensen is a firm favorite with Clarets fans although does have momentary lapses despite over the last couple of seasons in particular making some astonishing saves and being a regular Man of the Match.
