Overview
- Multiple outlets, citing a TEAMtalk report, say Liverpool and Chelsea are among several Premier League clubs watching Burnley centre-back Maxime Esteve.
- Liverpool view Esteve as a long-term left-footed option after Ibrahima Konaté’s exit and because the club can offer Champions League football to recruits.
- Chelsea see Esteve as the kind of young, Premier League‑proven defender Xabi Alonso wants while the club rebuilds its back line.
- Transfer values in coverage vary, with Transfermarkt listing about £24m and some outlets suggesting a fee near €30m; Esteve is under contract to 2030 but is widely expected to leave following relegation.
- No official bids or club confirmations have been made so far, and the next developments to watch are any formal offers from the reported suitors and how Burnley prices the player this summer.
