SWANSEA City have reportedly turned down a £15million bid from Premier League new-boys Sheffield United for former Bantams striker Oli McBurnie.
According to BBC Sport Wales, the Swans have rejected the move for the 23-year-old Scotland international and are thought to be only interested in offers over £20million.
McBurnie, a graduate of the Bradford City academy, left Valley Parade for Swansea back in 2015 and it is understood that a 15 per cent sell on clause was agreed as part of the deal - meaning the Bantams stand to net a seven-figure sum should a transfer materialise.
Since joining Swansea, McBurnie had loan spells at Newport - which included a 23-minute hat-trick - and Bristol Rovers before finding his feet on loan at Barnsley in the 2017/18 season.
McBurnie, who signed a three-year contract with the Swans last summer, has netted 32 Championship goals for Barnsley and Swansea combined, earning seven Scotland caps along the way.
The striker's personal accolades include Barnsley’s Player of the Season for the 2017/18 campaign and the Championship Player of the Month for February 2018.
