Liverpool are reportedly set to miss out on signing Hoffenheim forward Maximilian Beier, with the 21-year-old preferring a move to Borussia Dortmund. Beier, who scored 16 league goals in the 2023-24 season and broke into the Germany squad, has attracted significant Premier League interest.
Despite Liverpool holding talks with the striker, Beier is focused on joining Dortmund, who are expected to match his £25 million release clause. Dortmund aims to replace Niclas Füllkrug, who recently transferred to West Ham for £27 million. Liverpool, now turning their attention to other targets, are linked with Real Sociedad’s Martin Zubimendi and Bayer Leverkusen’s Piero Hincapié.
However, Zubimendi’s £51.7 million release clause remains a significant hurdle. The Reds have yet to make a permanent signing under new manager Arne Slot, who has focused on instilling his philosophy during pre-season. Liverpool’s pre-season has been promising, with three wins out of four matches, including a 3-0 victory over Manchester United.
Here is the skill highlight video of Maximilian Beier.
