eleven world report Leipzig are impressed by the Burnley centre-back's profile. A move is possible as the Frenchman is keen to take his career to the next level.
Burnley defender in talks with Leipzig
According to Onze Mondial's sources, the Burnley defender is already in talks with Leipzig. He is on their shortlist for the summer transfer window.
Maxime Esteve is reportedly keen on a move from Turf Moor following Burnley's relegation last season. He was a regular for the Clarets in the Premier League, making a total of 36 appearances throughout the campaign.
His profile as a left centre-back, who is comfortable in build-up play and one-on-one situations, matches the criteria that Leipzig are looking for. They are keen to improve their defense this summer.
Esteve is keen to move on and 'take his career in a new direction'. It seems he believes he needs to leave Burnley to do so. He and his agents are aware that several European clubs have been closely following his progress for several months. Now it seems that he is trying to take advantage of this.
€28m valuation
Burnley don't seem to be standing in their way. In fact, Onze Mondial report that the Championship side are willing to consider offers for the French Under 21 international.
There is no mention of his asking price, but the Clarets believe he 'retains an attractive market value' despite his demotion. TransferMarket currently values him at €28m. Burnley could demand a top fee, as he is under contract until 2030.
Leipzig is not the only lover. Sport Witness covered a report earlier this month Stating that Galatasaray are also keen on him. He now faces competition, with the German side believed to be 'serious contenders' for his signature.
