Manchester United are reportedly considering a bid for Hoffenheim striker Maximilian Beier, while Liverpool remain in the mix for the 21-year-old.
Beier made 33 Bundesliga games last term and claimed 16 goals and three assists to earn him a spot in Germany s squad for Euro 2024, where he made one appearance from the bench.
He s long been a target for Liverpool, with Germany journalist .
“Another name on Liverpool’s list is Maximilian Beier of Hoffenheim – I heard he’s definitely on the list, as he brings something that’s very interesting for Liverpool!” Falk said.
“His high speed this season was 35.45kmph. It’s also really good for Germany; he’s the second-fastest German player behind Leroy Sane. His contract at Hoffenheim runs until 2025 and I heard he has a release clause; he’ll be a little bit more expensive for English clubs but for German clubs he’ll only cost €20m. So you see, Liverpool are looking around at the Bundesliga again.
“He’s a player you can educate, fast, can play as a striker as well as on the wings, which would be beneficial for Liverpool’s rotations in the forward line. I think he’s interesting.
“He could be the next German national player, perhaps not in the coming matches, but he’ll be in the national team. He’s not very expensive, which would fit into Liverpool’s business model. Keep in mind, though, that Brentford and Everton’s interest in the player is concrete.”

But Beier signed a fresh contract with Hoffenheim almost immediately after those claims and it s now claimed he will be worth twice as much to interested parties.
Even so, reports in Italy suggest both Manchester United and Liverpool are considering whether to make a move for Beier and the German club believe there is a good chance they will get the £34m fee they re after this summer.
