The Clarets have already signed Conor Roberts from Swansea City today, but are keen to strengthen their squad further before the transfer window slams shut.
Burnley are in the lookout for a creative midfielder and have already missed out on the signing of Ryan Christie from Celtic, with the player opting for Bournemouth.
It then emerged that the Turf Moor outfit are looking into a loan deal for a Premier League star and Barkley appears to be that player.
Burnley are considering a late loan swoop for the former Everton star as they look to add to their options in midfield.
Sean Dyche’s side, though, could struggle to get a deal for Barkley across the line with just few more hours remaining on the clock.
The Englishman is also on high wages at Stamford Bridge and that could also complicate Burnley’s last-minute move for him.
Chelsea are keen to offload Barkley before the transfer window slams shut, but are expected to demand a small loan fee for him.
