If the sale is completed, the relegated Premier League side would receive €32 million, including bonuses.

After that, the left-footed centre-half is expected to link up with his new team-mates in Germany.

Bayer Leverkusen and others had shown interest in Estève, while rumours also connected him to Bayern Munich, where former Burnley manager Vincent Kompany is in charge.
