Burnley, RB Leipzig and Maxime Esteve
Friday
Burnley defender Maxime Esteve has joined RB Leipzig in a reported £27.3m deal. The 24-year-old leaves Turf Moor two years after Burnley paid Montpellier £10.2m to make his original loan move permanent.
Esteve was a key part of Burnley’s 2024-25 Championship-winning side and made 100 appearances for the club. Their latest Premier League relegation opened the door for Leipzig, who finished third in the Bundesliga last season.
