RB Leipzig is working on signing Maxime Estève. The 21-year-old French defender is set to make a long-term move to the Bundesliga until 2031. The signing of Esteve will strengthen Leipzig's defense. The club is currently in 3rd place in the Bundesliga with 65 points and a record of 20 wins, 5 draws, and 9 losses from 34 games. The transfer of Esteve is important because Leipzig is securing its defense for the future. The club is also preparing for possible departures of Castello Lukeba and/or El Chadaille Bitshiabu. Leipzig still needs to finalize the transfer. The club has already verbally indicated that it is willing to pay around €25m. However, FC Burnley wants around €35-45m for the young French player.
