RB Leipzig has intensified negotiations to sign Maxime Estève, a 24-year-old centre-back currently at Burnley FC. According to Fabrizio Romano, the German club is on the verge of closing a deal that includes a total package of €32 million, including add-ons.
Estève, a French national, has performed solidly in the Premier League, where his market value is estimated at €28 million. His contract with Burnley runs until June 30, 2030, underscoring his importance to the team.
The operation arises in a context where Leipzig seeks to strengthen its defense amid the potential departure of Castello Luquinha. Sacha Tavolieri had previously reported an initial offer of €24 million, indicating that the clubs have been in active talks to reach an agreement.
With Fabrizio Romano confirming the deal's progress, an official announcement is expected soon, solidifying Estève as a key addition for Leipzig in their quest to compete in the Bundesliga and Europe.
