ASTON VILLA TARGET MAXIMILIAN BEIER SETS HEART ON BORUSSIA DORTMUND MOVE

Aston Villa’s hopes of signing Maximilian Beier have been dealt a blow, as the Hoffenheim attacker has made it clear that he wants to join Borussia Dortmund this summer. According to German broadcaster Sky Deutschland, Beier is “definitely clear” that he wants to make the move to Dortmund, despite interest from a host of other clubs, including Villa, Bayer Leverkusen, Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid.

Beier’s desire to join Dortmund is thought to be driven by the club’s impressive performance in the Champions League last season, where they reached the final. The 21-year-old is eager to be a part of a team that is competing at the highest level, and he believes that Dortmund offers him the best opportunity to do so.

Dortmund’s coach, Nuri Sahin, is also said to be pushing for the club to sign Beier, and is thought to be a key factor in the player’s decision. Sahin sees Beier as the perfect replacement for Niclas Fullkrug, who was sold to West Ham United earlier this summer, and is willing to do whatever it takes to bring him to the club.

With Dortmund having just received a significant influx of cash from the sale of Fullkrug, they are now in a position to make a move for Beier. The club is planning to offer Hoffenheim €25m for the player, and if a deal is agreed, there could even be a medical this week.

Beier’s decision to choose Dortmund over Aston Villa will come as a disappointment to Unai Emery, who had identified the player as a key target for the summer transfer window. However, Villa will now have to turn their attention to other targets, as they look to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.

The transfer saga highlights the challenges that Premier League clubs face when competing with top European teams for the same players. While Villa may have been able to offer Beier a lucrative deal, the opportunity to play for a team like Dortmund, with their rich history and recent success, was too good to turn down.

As the transfer window enters its final stages, Villa will be looking to bring in new players to strengthen their squad. With Beier no longer an option, Emery will have to turn his attention to other targets, and hope that he can persuade them to join the club.

In the meantime, Dortmund will be hoping to tie up a deal for Beier as quickly as possible, and add him to their squad ahead of the new season. With Sahin pushing for the signing, and the player himself keen to make the move, it seems likely that Beier will be a Dortmund player soon.
