Bayer Leverkusen have placed Burnley's Maxime Esteve on their radar ahead of the summer transfer window.

That is according to Sky Sports reporter Lyall Thomas, who claims that the German giants have joined two Premier League clubs in the race for his signature.

Burnley are "open to discussing" Esteve's exit following their relegation to the Championship. The Frenchman has played a vital role at Turf Moor since joining from Montpellier on an initial loan deal in February 2024. 

Esteve was coincidentally signed by Vincent Kompany months before he exited the club to join Bayern Munich, and the 23-year-old could now play against him next season. 

The France U23 international has made 98 appearances for the Clarets in just over two years, establishing himself as a Premier League-proven defender. 

The defensive stalwart was even hailed as "exceptional" by the PSFA after starring in Burnley's promotion-winning campaign last term which saw them concede just 16 goals and keep 29 clean sheets.
