According to the latest report from transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, Premier League side Wolves have shown strong interest in Burnley defender Esteve and have asked the relegated side for specific conditions to sign the French defender. However, Wolves are not the only Premier League club interested in Esteve, as they face stiff competition from a number of other teams.
Esteve joined Burnley on loan in last season's winter transfer window, and despite Burnley's eventual failure to survive relegation, they still paid €12 million to buy him out this summer. However, the 22-year-old French defender's future at Burnley is uncertain, with his impressive performances already attracting the attention of several Premier League teams.
In the second half of his loan spell at Burnley, Esteve became an important part of the team's backline. He made a total of 16 appearances for the team in the Premier League, including 15 starts, showing excellent defensive ability and stable game form. In addition to the fixed transfer fee of 12 million euros, Montpellier also retained a 15% split clause on Esteve's future transfers, which further increased the complexity of the deal.
Nevertheless, Wolves still showed great interest in Esteve. They hope to bring in this young and talented defender to strengthen the team's defense and get ready for the next season's Premier League. However, it will not be easy for Wolves to sign him as other Premier League teams are also eyeing on him.
