By leaving Montpellier to join England and the promoted Burnley this winter, the young 21-year-old defender, Maxime Estève probably did not expect to attract the wrath of his former president, Laurent Nicollin.
“Maxime (Estève) broke my balls. We ended up letting him go. He's a kid trained at the club, who claims to love it and who wants to leave for a few euros more, I'm not going to war with that. I've been disappointed." exclaimed Laurent Nicollin, during an interview for Midi Libre.
As a reminder, the player was loaned for six months with an almost obligatory purchase option amounting to around 12 million euros. A great added value for a player trained at Paillade.
