Former France Under-21s defender Maxime Esteve has left Burnley to join Bundesliga club RB Leipzig.
Burnley have agreed a reported fee of £27.3m for Esteve, two years after they paid Montpellier £10.2m to make his loan permanent.
Esteve, 24, was a big success at Turf Moor and key to their 2024-25 Championship-winning campaign under Scott Parker, playing all 46 league games.
The 6ft 4in centre-half initially joined Burnley on loan on transfer deadline day on 1 February 2024, under then manager Vincent Kompany, and made 100 appearances for the Clarets.
Burnley rewarded him for his progress with a five-year deal 12 months ago, but following their third relegation in five years from the Premier League, Esteve heads to a team who finished third in the German top flight last season.

Stanley boss John Doolan told the club website:, external "David is someone we've been looking at a while. He is a very good player, very experienced and knows the league well."
A previous move to Stanley fell through and Tutonda said: "That was an opportunity I missed, so I'm glad it's come back around."
