Feghouli made it clear several weeks ago he and the manager would discuss the situation at the end of the season and that the club had rejected offers in the summer.
But we understand that the manager is keen on the player particularly after a fine finish to the season at Turf Moor as we closed the campaign in some style.

Meanwhile Roma are understood to be standing by ready to make a £7 million offer for the player.
