Overview

• Bild, echoed by Transfermarkt, reports a £55 million fee plus £5 million in bonuses via an intermediary, which would be a Brentford record and make Beier the third-most expensive German player.
• The approach is described as part of a conditional chain tied to Alexander Isak’s proposed move to Liverpool and Yoane Wissa’s switch involving Newcastle and Brentford, with club approvals still needed.
• Dortmund is weighing the proposal after late-window spending on Aaron Anselmino and Carney Chukwuemeka, with a deal for Fabio Silva reported close.
• Beier, a Germany international signed for €28.5 million in 2024, faces strong competition for minutes up front under Niko Kovač, with Serhou Guirassy established and Silva expected to arrive.
• Aston Villa have also been linked with interest, the window closes on September 1, and Sky reports Julian Brandt’s representatives are sounding out market options for the winter and next summer.
