Burnley’s star centre-half has been linked with a host of top Premier League clubs.

Manchester United appeared favourites to re-sign the 24-year-old.

But £31million Victor Lindelof was eventually named as Jose Mourinho’s first summer signing instead.

The Sun claim Keane then turned down the chance to return to Old Trafford, keeping his options open.

Burnley have been willing to keep the England international and let him run down his contract which expires next year.

But Keane is eager to move on and Everton are prepared to match the Clarets’ £25m price-tag.
