Liverpool boss Arne Slot wants Bundesliga striker Max Beier

In light of Darwin Nunez’s uncertain future, Liverpool manager Arne Slot is said to be interested in signing Hoffenheim striker Maximilian Beier.

Sport Bild’s transfer section, via Sport Witness , claim that the new Reds boss is keen to sign Beier this summer as Nunez’s future at Anfield is still up in the air after a poor season.

In October, after a spectacular start to the Bundesliga season with six goals in his first eight games, Beier’s contract was extended until 2027.

According to the report, the 21-year-old’s contract with Hoffenheim has an attractive €32.5 million release clause.

Beier is believed to be a target for Liverpool’s Premier League rivals Manchester United, Brentford and Nottingham Forest.

Liverpool scouts were impressed with the 21-year-old last season, noting his ability to drop deep into midfield and excel in progressive passing values.

Similarities have been drawn between Beier and his predecessor Roberto Firmino, who moved from the Rhein-Neckar-Arena to Liverpool in 2015.

But unlike Firmino, Beier is also renowned for his remarkable pace and is more adaptable than the renowned Brazilian, having the ability to play through the center or on either wing.

Arne Slot wants a new striker at Liverpool

The Reds are looking at new attackers on the market who can finish off the chances created by the team and link up with other players.

Nunez’s poor form last season cost the Reds plenty of points in crucial situations and they are now determined to address the issue in the transfer market.

Due to his strong performances this season, Beier was called up by head coach Julian Nagelsmann to the Germany squad, where he made his debut in a recent international friendly against Ukraine.

A big move for the striker could come immediately this summer, with Premier League clubs interested in him.
