Chelsea and Aston Villa submit offers for Bundesliga star

 

Chelsea and Aston Villa have made offers for Hoffenheim attacker Maximilian Beier, reports Florian Plettenburg.

 

Both clubs are claimed to have submitted ‘concrete’ offers to sign the 21-year-old, but neither side are understood to have officially opened negotiations with Hoffenheim.

 

 

In his first Bundesliga season, Beier netted 16 goals and provided one assist for Hoffenheim.

 

The Germany international played mostly as a centre forward, but can also play as a No.10, or from the left.

 

It is claimed that Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen are also interested in signing Beier, while two more ‘top clubs’ from across Europe have made contact with Hoffenheim for him.

 

 

A final decision is set to be reached within the next two weeks. Beier is believed to have a €30 million release clause in his contract.
