# Burnley attempt to hijack Camarasa move – how big a blow would it be?

Burnley could attempt to steal Victor Camarasa from under the noses of Crystal Palace.

That’s according to *Diario de Sevilla*, via [https://sportwitness.co.uk/crystal-palace-waiting-player-arrive-burnley-make-last-ditch-bid-scupper-move/](https://sportwitness.co.uk/crystal-palace-waiting-player-arrive-burnley-make-last-ditch-bid-scupper-move/)*[Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/crystal-palace-waiting-player-arrive-burnley-make-last-ditch-bid-scupper-move/)*, who claim the Clarets have not given up hope yet.

Palace have been the frontrunners for Camarasa’s signature this summer, but they are running out of time to get a deal sorted.

Should the Eagles miss out one of their reported primary summer targets, there is no denying that it would be a blow.

It has been a frustrating summer at Selhurst Park already, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka joining Man United in a big-money move.

Uncertainty also continues to surround Wilfried Zaha’s future and losing their star man is unthinkable for many Palace supporters.

To then miss out on a key signing, especially to a potential relegation rival, would be another difficult pill to swallow.

Camarasa would be a strong signing if Palace do manage to fight off Burnley’s interest.

He impressed for Cardiff City on loan from Real Betis last season, albeit in a losing cause as the Bluebirds were relegated to the Championship.

Camarasa would bring quality to Palace’s midfield, as well as much-needed depth.
