Nottingham Forest, Everton, and Bournemouth in contact to sign Burnley’s Maxime Esteve | OneFootball

Burnley will return to the EFL Championship next season, but Maxime Esteve (23) won’t be following them, according to a report from L’Équipe.

The Frenchman, who came through the ranks at Montpellier HSC, has reached the 100-game mark for Burnley, but his days at Turf Moor are now numbered. Having impressed in that time, the centre-back is attracting interest and is almost certain to leave the Lancashire club upon the conclusion of the domestic season. 

Burnley open door to summer exit

As per L’Équipe, Esteve is expected to make a swift decision regarding his future. There are two options: stay in the Premier League or move to the Bundesliga. In the Premier League, Nottingham Forest, Everton, and Bournemouth have made contact to sound out a deal. In Germany, Bayer Leverkusen are interested.

Burnley have opened the door to an exit for Esteve, whose deal with the club runs until 2030.
