Everton and Brentford are in the picture for TSG Hoffenheim’s Maximilian Beier, according to a report from Germany.
Having spent the last two years on loan at Hannover 96, the striker returned to his parent club in the summer and has impressed for them this season, managing four goals and an assist from five league games.
The 20-year-old’s fine displays for the Bundesliga side have ‘aroused interest’ from both Everton and Brentford, according to Bild.
This update was provided by Bild journalist Christian Falk, and Liga Insider have relayed the additional information provided by him through a video.
Beier’s current deal expires in 2025 and Bild state it includes a €20m release clause. The price quoted here would be affordable for Sean Dyche’s side and the Bees but it could be early for them to take any steps for a potential deal in January.
Hoffenheim, for their part, want to fend off the interest from the Premier League duo by offering a long-term contract to their star.
Operating across the attacking line, Beier managed 15 goals and seven assists from 68 games for Hannover. It remains to be seen if Everton, Brentford or another club will try to activate his clause in the winter market.
