Manchester United, one of the most prestigious football clubs in England, has recently expressed interest in signing the talented Maximilian Beier. According to sources in Germany, the club has begun negotiations with Hoffenheim, the team Beier currently plays for.
It seems that United's manager, Erik ten Hag, has been eager to add a new striker to his roster to lighten the load on Rasmus Hojlund. This desire was especially strong during the January transfer window, but due to financial limitations, the club was unable to pursue the move at that time.
Despite this setback, ten Hag is still determined to bring in a new forward, as well as a center-back and central midfielder, during the upcoming summer transfer period. And it's easy to see why Beier has caught his eye - the 21-year-old has been thriving in his first full season in the Bundesliga, scoring an impressive 16 goals in 33 appearances for Hoffenheim. In fact, he was recently named the team's Player of the Season.
Beier's outstanding performances have even earned him a spot on the German national team, where he will be competing in the Euro 2024 tournament. His former coach at Bayern Munich's Under-17 team, the legendary Miroslav Klose, had nothing but praise for Beier, saying, "I played against him in my first years as coach and his talent was immediately evident. He runs tirelessly, always puts the team first, and has a knack for scoring goals. I'm sure Julian Nagelsmann has his eye on him."
Of course, United is not the only club interested in Beier. But according to recent reports, they have taken the first step by asking Hoffenheim to name their price for the young striker. It is said that the German club is holding out for €32.5 million, which is the amount of Beier's release clause. This amount decreases by €2.5 million each year.
However, United may face some financial limitations once again this transfer window, with rumors suggesting their budget may be as low as £35 million. The club is hoping to increase this amount by selling some of their current players, such as Jadon Sancho, Mason Greenwood, and Casemiro.
Despite these potential obstacles, Manchester United remains determined to bring in new talent and strengthen their team. As always, fans eagerly await news of any new signings and developments in the world of football.
