After Donyell Malen, is Maxi Beier next? Aston Villa preparing a bid | OneFootball

After a departure had been a recurring topic in previous transfer periods, Donyell Malen finally left Borussia Dortmund in January for Aston Villa, where the Dutch international has so far only managed a substitute role. And now, Malen may face additional competition from a former teammate, as Aston Villa shows concrete interest in Maximilian Beier.

According to "Sky" reporter Patrick Berger, there is significant interest from Birmingham in Beier, which has already been communicated to BVB. Aston Villa has reportedly already initiated talks with the player's side and is preparing an offer of around 35 million euros. However, Villa can only become truly active once players have been sold, due to Financial Fair Play regulations.

Beier's Departure Possible, but Not Inevitable

Aston Villa is not the only English club interested in Beier. FC Brentford and at least one other Premier League club are also considering the 22-year-old, who remained on the bench for the full 90 minutes during Dortmund's Bundesliga opener against FC St. Pauli (3:3) on Saturday. Beier was not happy about this, but he is not actively pushing for a departure from Dortmund.

However, staying at BVB is not set in stone, especially as new competition in the form of Fabio Silva is reportedly on the way, which does not improve his chances for regular playing time.

Meanwhile, Borussia is not planning to sell Beier, but if a lucrative offer comes in and a significant transfer profit compared to the 28.5 million euros paid to TSG Hoffenheim for the four-time national player just over a year ago is possible, nothing seems to be ruled out at the moment.
