‘Agreement found’ – Player now closer to Burnley transfer after clubs shake hands on deal

Following reports that Burnley and Montpellier were still in talks for Maxime Estève, it appears the defender is on his way to Turf Moor.

That’s according to Sacha Tavolieri, who took to X, formerly Twitter, to bring the latest on the centre-back’s situation.

He explains that there has finally been an ‘agreement found’ between Burnley and Montpellier for the transfer, although doesn’t give more details than that.

It was previously reported that while the Clarets had met the expectations of the Ligue 1 side in terms of money, they were also trying to delay the payments as much as possible, which didn’t sit right with the French club.

To counter that, a new article came out explaining that Burnley had decided to make a new offer to get the deal over the line, which now appears to have been accepted.

It was said at the time that Vincent Kompany’s side were waiting for an answer from Montpellier, which seems to have now arrived.

If all the numbers are the same as the previous offer, just with different payment schedules, then the deal should be a €12m or so package.
