Former France youth international Maxime Esteve (23) is being linked with a move away from Burnley, following the club’s relegation back to the EFL Championship.
Esteve has become a key figure at Turf Moor since joining Burnley, initially on loan from formative club Montpellier HSC back in 2024. That deal was made permanent and, despite the Lancashire club’s immediate return to the second tier, the defender has continued to perform.
Two Premier League sides in for Burnley defender
His performances have caught the eyes of Bayer Leverkusen, as per a report from Sky Sports. Burnley, given their relegation from the Premier League, are open to discussing a deal this summer, the publication adds.
There are two other unnamed Premier League clubs in for the Frenchman. Tottenham Hotspur have previously been linked. Esteve has been an ever-present in the side, managed by Scott Parker until recent days. He has started all Premier League games bar three this season.
