Arsenal and Tottenham could land Roberto Firmino transfer repeat as timeline and price tag revealed
The race to sign Maximilian Beier is beginning to build a head of steam ahead of the summer transfer window. The 21-year-old striker has been heavily linked with an exit from TSG Hoffenheim recently as he continues to impress in the German top flight.
Beier, who sees his contract at the PreZero Arena expire in 2027, has featured 25 times Pellegrino Matarazzo's side in the Bundesliga this season, scoring 12 goals and providing five assists. His impressive performances have helped Hoffenheim climb the table as they hope to secure European qualification.
With eight games left to play, Die Kraichgauer currently sit eighth – seven points adrift of Eintracht Frankfurt, who currently rank sixth. Nevertheless, Beier, who has just received his first senior international call-up to the Germany squad, has reportedly courted the interest of some top clubs across Europe.
According to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, all the 'top Bundesliga clubs' apart from Borussia Dortmund are interest in activating Beier's €30million (£25.6m) release clause. The report states that the 'top eight Premier League clubs' are also keeping tabs on his progress.
Plettenberg adds that Hoffenheim are preparing for the youngster's departure in the summer – a move which could be announced ahead of the European Championships in the summer. It remains to be seen whether or not Beier will swap the Bundesliga for the English top flight, but if he did he would certainly hope to enjoy nearly as much success as Roberto Firmino.
The 32-year-old left Hoffenheim to join Liverpool in July 2015 and he went on to win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Super Cup. Beier, however, is a more conventional striker than Firmino.
