Aston Villa is stepping up its pursuit of offensive reinforcements, and reports show that the club is preparing for a formal bid for Borussia Dortmund striker Maximilian Beier.
According to reporter Patrick Berger, Villa is ready to invest £30 million on the table to convince the Bundesliga side to separate from the promising German international team.
Berger added that preliminary negotiations between Villa and Bell’s representatives had already been underway and the discussion was described as “promising.”
This development marks Unai Emery’s determination to secure additional offensive channels before the summer window ends, as the Spaniards hope to be on impressive progress in Villa under his leadership.
Aston Villa is looking for additional offensive additions
The Midlands Club has been closely linked to the actions of Chelsea’s Nicholas Jackson and Christopher Ncook in recent weeks.
However, Jackson was destined to loan Bayern Munich, while Nkunku would be permanently transferred to AC Milan.
This situation forced Villa to consider alternative goals, and Beier became the leader.
The 22-year-old striker enjoyed a solid season at Dortmund, scoring 10 goals and 6 assists in all games. His competition is defined by speed, sharp ball movements and intelligent positioning.
Max Beier adds versatility and depth to Villa’s attacks
Beier is comfortable on both feet and has the technical ability to beat defenders in one-on-one situations, making him a versatile option to adapt to different offensive roles.
For Villa, the signature Beier will not only increase much-needed depth, but it will also bring young visibility and potentially further development under Emery’s guidance.
With European football to compete this season, the club is eager to avoid over-reliance on Ollie Watkins and to players who can provide pace and competent quality.
