In the January update, Everton attempts to finalize Maxime Esteve’s transfer.

Maxime Esteve, who is now playing for Montpellier, is wanted by Burnley and Nottingham Forest. Everton has made

an approach to recruit him, according to the Daily Mail.

On January 27, the publication revealed that Burnley had increased their efforts to capture the 21-year-old, putting

in a bid of £10.2 million.

Nottingham Forest had already made an offer for the French center back this month, but Montpellier had already

rejected it.

The fierce rivalry for Esteve, the talented Montpellier center back, is demonstrated by Burnley’s offer for him.

Several clubs have expressed interest in the 21-year-old Frenchman, who has emerged as one of his country’s

greatest defensive talents.

Nottingham Forest had already made an offer for the French center back this month, but Montpellier had already

rejected it. The fierce rivalry for Esteve, the talented Montpellier center back, is demonstrated by Burnley’s offer for

Montpellier is determined to keep Esteve at least through the conclusion of the season, as seen by their

unwillingness to sell and their rejection of offers from other suitors.

Given the fierce competition and Montpellier’s unwavering position, Everton’s pursuit of Esteve may end up being

drawn out and eventually fruitless.

The French team has rejected bids in the past, indicating that they are unlikely to consider the Toffees, thus this will

be a difficult and possibly futile endeavor for the team. A center-back is not really a priority at this point in the club’s

financial struggles and takeover situation.

This can be discussed in the summer because it is doubtful that Jarrad Branthwaite and James Tarkowski would

depart in January.
