Burnley will have to pay £20m for Hull City midfielder Sam Clucas, according to the Sun.
The Clarets have failed with two bids already for the 26-year old, both believed to be around £10m.
Clucas made 37 Premier League appearances for the Tigers last season.
The deal could hinge on Hull's pursuit of Cardiff striker Kenneth Zahore.
The Bluebirds have rejected a bid of £10m for the Dane, but Hull are expected to return with an increased offer.
