Burnley may have a big problem in their pursuit for Montpellier defender Maxime Esteve.
According to the latest reports from France, Lens are also said to compete for the centre-back’s signing this month.
The information is brought by Mouhamed Toubache-Ter, who claims that Lens are ‘seriously considering’ that transfer right now.
With both Lens and Burnley trying to get Esteve before the end of the transfer market, that’s probably a very comfortable situation for Montpellier, who can make a big request and expect a panic buy from either of the sides.
The defender is currently valued by Transfermarkt at €7m, and has his contract with the Ligue 1 side expiring at the end of next season, making now or this summer the perfect time to sell.
