Is Beier leaving Dortmund? Brentford tempt with £70m offer | OneFootball

The summer transfer window is closing soon. Players can still come and go in the top 5 leagues until September 1. One of the candidates for a transfer is Maximilian Beier. Apparently, two clubs from the Premier League have set their sights on the 22-year-old striker from Borussia Dortmund.

Both FC Brentford and Aston Villa, two clubs from the middle of the table, have taken an interest in Beier. The Villans from Birmingham are reportedly ready to put 35 million euros on the table for the four-time national player. At the European Cup winner of 1982, Beier would meet another former BVB professional. Since 2024, Ian Maatsen has been lacing up his football boots for the club from the West Midlands. In the second half of the 2023/24 season, the Dutchman played 23 times for the Black and Yellows (five goal involvements).

However, according to information from Sky, the offer from the Bees from Brentford is much more lucrative. An offer of 64 million euros is reportedly about to arrive in Dortmund. With bonus payments, the amount could even reach the 70 million mark.

Beier joined the Westphalians from TSG Hoffenheim in the summer of 2024 for 28.5 million euros. Since then, he has appeared 47 times for Borussia. He scored ten times and provided six assists. His contract runs until 2029.

Silva ahead of medical check

In Dortmund, the decision-makers have to weigh up. The income speaks for a sale of the native Brandenburger. However, his departure would leave a huge gap in the offensive area. Whether the Ruhr club will be able to find and sign adequate replacement in such a short time is questionable.

However, an alternative to Beier may already be on its way to BVB. Fábio Silva (23) from Wolverhampton Wanderers is expected to undergo his medical check before the weekend. This means that the striker from Portugal could already be in the squad of the Black and Yellows against 1. FC Union Berlin (August 31, 5.30 pm).
