According to Fabrizio Romano, Esteve is now set to leave the club following their return to the Championship and join RB Leipzig.

It’s understood that the German club will pay a fee of €32 million, including add-ons, with personal terms already agreed.

Esteve spent two-and-a-half years at Burnley but an official announcement of his move to RB Leipzig is expected soon.
