RB Leipzig completes Maxime Estève signing as Chelsea eyes Yan Diomande

French centre‑back Maxime Estève, 22, has transferred from Burnley to RB Leipzig. The defender, who spent the 2024‑25 season on loan before making his move permanent, is expected to add depth to Leipzig’s back line ahead of a busy domestic and European schedule.

Chelsea are reportedly preparing a €100 million offer for RB Leipzig’s 19‑year‑old Ivorian attacker Yan Diomande, who impressed in the Bundesliga and at the World Cup. Leipzig have set a valuation above €120 million, but the London club is said to be testing the market with a five‑year deal for the forward.
