Hoffenheim demand €40m for Maximilian Beier as Atletico Madrid search for Memphis Depay replacement

Hoffenheim have set a €40m price tag for forward Maximilian Beier, as Atletico Madrid look for a replacement for Memphis Depay, Soccernet.football reports.

Beier, 21, had an impressive season, scoring 16 goals in 33 Bundesliga matches. His performance has caught the attention of Atletico Madrid, who are considering him as a potential signing.

The young forward, who has one cap for Germany, is also seen as a backup option if Alvaro Morata leaves Atletico. The news of Atletico’s interest in Beier emerged recently from Germany, and now Mundo Deportivo has revealed the transfer fee required by the player’s club, Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim signed Beier from Energie Cottbus in 2018. He spent a season on loan at Hannover before making his mark in the Bundesliga. His strong performances earned him a call-up to the national team, making his debut on June 3 against Ukraine.

Atletico Madrid, however, are cautious about the high fee. The club feels that €40m is too much for a young prospect and would prefer to invest such an amount in a more established player.

Beier’s potential move to Atletico would depend on whether the Spanish club is willing to meet Hoffenheim’s valuation. For now, Hoffenheim remain firm on their asking price, and the future of the talented forward hangs in the balance.Hoffenheim have set a €40m price tag for forward Maximilian Beier, as Atletico Madrid look for a replacement for Memphis Depay, Soccernet.football reports.
