New center! Fabrizio Romano: Borussia Dortmund signed 21-year-old Bayer for 30 million euros and the fifth scorer in the Bundesliga

According to the latest report from Italy transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Borussia Dortmund are close to signing Hoffenheim's 21-year-old German striker Bayer for a transfer fee of 30 million euros and a five-year contract until June 2029.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Borussia Dortmund's move to sign Hoffenheim striker Bayer has been completed, with Dortmund paying a transfer fee of €30 million, with whom Bayer had already reached a personal agreement earlier this week. Bair will undergo a medical examination next Monday, and the two sides will sign a contract until 2029.

Beyer came through Hoffenheim's academy and was promoted to the first team in 2020-21 before spending time on loan at Hannover before returning to Hoffenheim last season and playing in good form and attracting the attention of Borussia Dortmund and becoming a Germany international.

The 21-year-old Baier, who is 1.85 meters tall and a right-footed player, mainly plays the center forward position, but can also play as a winger, and the German transfer price is 30 million euros, which is the same as the transfer fee. Beyer played 33 Bundesliga games for Hoffenheim last season, scoring 16 goals and ranking fifth in the Bundesliga scorer charts, which is remarkable for a 21-year-old young striker. Germany has not produced a center forward for a long time, and perhaps Bayer will be the new answer. Beyer played at Euro 2024 with Germany, making just one substitute appearance and playing 25 minutes.
