According to Philipp Hinze of Sky Sport Germany, Maxime Estève is scheduled to undergo a medical on Wednesday and will subsequently sign a contract that runs until 2031. BILD had previously reported that Leipzig agreed to a deal with Burnley for a guaranteed fee of around €25m, including a sell-on clause and bonus payments. Hinze explains that the add-ons are both relatively small and difficult to trigger. The total package could potentially rise beyond €30m if all bonuses were activated, though this is considered highly unlikely. Hinze reports that the transfer is now in its final stages.
