RB Leipzig has submitted a €24 million bid to Burnley FC for defender Maxime Estève. This move comes as Leipzig seeks to bolster their defense amid the impending departure of Castello Lukeba, who is attracting interest from top European clubs. Estève, 24, has been a key player for Burnley, starting all 36 matches in the 2025–26 season, despite the team's relegation to the Championship. The French defender is likely to be interested in the prospect of joining Leipzig, where he would compete in the Bundesliga and the Champions League next season.
