Aston Villa, Manchester United and Brighton could go head-to-head in the race to sign a German international this summer, with Maximilian Beier being linked with the Premier League pair as a result of his breakthrough into the German national team this summer – but the duo could be rivalled by Liverpool and Chelsea for his services in the summer with the forward being targeted by a whole host of English clubs.
The youngster endured his breakthrough season as he guided Hoffenheim to a seventh-placed finish with 16 goals in 33 games – enough to rank him fifth in the top goalscorer rankings for the division. At just 21, he still has plenty of time to develop and that could see him move to the Premier League, with Villa and Brighton keen on a move according to German publication BILD.

Maximilian Beier is on Premier League Shortlists
The striker has been exceptional for Hoffenheim this season
The report states that Beier is in Villa and Brighton’s eyesight as the top-flight duo ponder a move for the German forward. Villa are thought to be leading the race for his signature, with a potential striker needed if Jhon Duran departs from Villa Park despite only being there for 18 months after his move from Chicago Fire – whilst Brighton are in the hunt despite boasting Joao Pedro, Evan Ferguson and Danny Welbeck in their ranks.
It’s thought that the duo have made contact with Hoffenheim over a potential move, alongside the player’s representatives – and having featured at EURO 2024 for the German national team, the 21-year-old is a name that will surely become more prominent in the future.
Beier was previously praised by Hoffenheim sporting director Alexander Rosen.
