A French defender will join Leipzig

Maxime Estève is the new recruit of RB Leipzig. The information has just been made official by the German club, which paid €32 million including bonuses. The 24-year-old defender signed his contract until 2031 and will discover the Champions League this season.

After leaving Montpellier two years ago for €12 million, the Frenchman continued his progress with Burnley. He even managed to take the Clarets to the Premier League in the first season, but failed in the maintenance mission in the spring. This transfer is a new step in his career.
