The 26-year-old is not set to sign for Burnley’s new sister club Espanyol, however, despite reports to the contrary.
Catalan outlet Sport claimed over the weekend that the La Liga outfit, who are in the midst of a takeover by Clarets chairman Alan Pace, are interested in a loan swoop for the Belgian winger.
Sources have told the Burnley Express that such a move will not be materialising. But it is expected that Tresor will move on ahead of the Monday, September 1 transfer deadline.
It comes after the winger was left out of Burnley’s squad for their Premier League opener against Tottenham on Saturday.
Asked to explain the absence of both Tresor and Luca Koleosho, manager Scott Parker told the Burnley Express afterwards: “Mainly selection. We'll see how that pans out over the coming week.”
Tresor initially joined Burnley on loan from KRC Genk in the summer of 2023, before the move was made permanent at the end of last season.

He failed to make a single league appearance last season, however, with his only cameo coming off the bench during an FA Cup tie against Reading in January.

Koleosho, who made the move to Burnley from Espanyol two years ago, has also been linked with a return to his former side as part of the new multi-club model link-up.
