Burnley are confident Maxime Esteve’s £50million price tag will fend off Premier League interest, sources have told Football Insider.
Everton and Crystal Palace are keen on the 23-year-old after his exploits for Scott Parker’s side in the 2024-25 campaign.
Football Insider revealed on Monday (9 June) that Burnley have slapped a £50million price tag on Esteve amid interest from Bayern Munich.
Vincent Kompany, who was head coach of the Clarets when the Frenchman arrived at Turf Moor, is eyeing a potential reunion with the defender in Bavaria.

He started every second-tier game in the 2024-25 campaign as Burnley conceded just 16 goals in 46 league games.
Esteve has already tasted Premier League football after joining the Clarets on an initial loan from Montpelier in January 2024.
He was named in the Championship Team of the Season for the most recent campaign as the Lancashire club bounced back at the earliest opportunity.
