RB Leipzig complete Esteve signing from Burnley | OneFootball

BuLi News reports that RB Leipzig have completed the signing of Maxime Estève from Burnley for a reported €25 million. The 24-year-old has agreed a contract until 2031.

He will wear the number 3 shirt in Leipzig, last worn by Lutsharel Geertruida, who spent last season on loan at Sunderland.

Estève starred in Burnley’s Championship-winning campaign in 2024/25, then faced a second relegation with the club the following season.

The left-footed defender came through Montpellier’s academy and played for their first team until February 2024.

He made the PFA Championship Team of the Year as Burnley became the first team to keep 30 clean sheets, and he featured in 34 Premier League matches for the Clarets last term.

Leipzig managing director Marcel Schäfer called the deal an important step, praising Estève’s experience in France and England and his progress at Burnley. Estève said he is delighted to join, believes the club’s high-intensity, fearless approach fits him, and stated that together they want to enjoy success in the Champions League, the Bundesliga and the DFB-Pokal.
