JOE HART is reportedly to be let go by Burnley this summer in the latest blow to his career.
The goalkeeper, 32, signed a two-year contract at Turf Moor last summer for £4million but could be sold for nothing just 12 months later.
According to the , a number of French clubs are interested in the former England No1.
Harted started the season as Sean Dyche's first choice, playing every Premier League minute until the 5-1 defeat at home to Everton on Boxing Day - the exact mid-point of the campaign.
Tom Heaton was brought in and Burnley immediately ended their three-game losing streak by going eight matches unbeaten with five wins and three draws.
And with club captain Heaton back between the sticks, it seems Hart is surplus to requirements, especially with his high wages.
He was on the bench yet again yesterday as the Clarets lost 1-0 at home to his former side Manchester City, who took another big step towards the Premier League title.
That would be their fourth title in eight years and Hart played a crucial role in the 2012 and 2014 triumphs.
Unhappy with his apparent inability to play with his feet and some costly errors for England at the Euros, Guardiola shipped Hart out on loan for the 2016/17 season.
He raised a few eyebrows by joining Serie A side Torino but his top form again deserted him and the Italian side decided not to keep him permanently.
Last season, with Ederson arriving at Manchester City, Hart was again loaned out and headed to West Ham.
But he endured a nightmare start, conceding ten goals in his first three matches and - like this season - was dropped for later in the campaign with Adrian restored to the side.
And after 75 England appearances, two Prem titles, 340 top-flight appearances and 127 clean sheets - only Petr Cech has more in Premier League history - Hart looks set for another step down next season.
While a move to France has been rumoured, another option that could be on the cards is the MLS.
