On Monday, German international Maximilian Beier officially completed his transfer to Borussia Dortmund by signing a lucrative five-year contract with the Bundesliga club. The deal, reportedly worth 30 million euros ($32.7m), was finalized after Beier successfully underwent a medical examination. The highly-rated 21-year-old striker joins Dortmund from Hoffenheim, where he honed his skills for the past six years after progressing through the Energie Cottbus youth system. Beier made a significant impact in the Bundesliga during his first full season, netting an impressive 16 goals in 33 appearances. Expressing his enthusiasm for the new chapter in his career, Beier stated, "I'm really excited to take this next major step in my career with Borussia Dortmund. I am eager to contribute to the team's success and continue my development as a player." This signing marks a significant milestone in Beier's promising career as he looks forward to making a mark at one of Germany's top clubs.
He also received his first senior international call-up in March, and was part of Julian Nagelsmann's Germany squad for the European Championship.
Club sporting director Sebastian Kehl said Beier was the club's "top target" after Niclas Fuellkrug's departure for English Premier League club West Ham.
"He's very self-assured on the pitch despite his young age, and he has impressive pace, he never stops running and he poses a real goal threat," said Kehl.
"On top of that, he has the versatility to play in several positions and in various systems. There's scope for him to develop further, and we'll help him become an even better player.
