"RB Leipzig" club will soon acquire a defender from the Premier League.

Including bonuses, the transfer fee could reach 32 million euros.

A year ago, Tottenham had expressed interest in this defender.

M. Esteve was one of the most prominent players in the Burnley team, which was relegated to the Championship.
