According to the latest report from authoritative German soccer magazine Kicker, Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Dortmund has officially joined the race for German international Bayer. The Hoffenheim club's bid for the versatile player is as high as 30 million euros, showing strong confidence in Bayer's market value.
Reports suggest that Borussia Dortmund have earned at least €27 million in transfer fees after the successful sale of striker Phil Kruger. The money will be used to strengthen the team's forward line, and Bayer is one of the targets they are focusing on. Dortmund has been watching Bayer for a long time and believes that he can fit perfectly into the team's tactical system.
Bayer, a German international, has long attracted the attention of many giants with his outstanding skills and all-round abilities. In addition to Leverkusen, the Premier League's Chelsea and Aston Villa and other rich clubs have also expressed early interest in him. However, with the departure of Phil Kruger, Dortmund's need for striker reinforcements has become even more urgent and they have decided to join the fierce battle.
Kicker further states that Bayer's technical profile fits Dortmund's needs perfectly. He can not only replace the outgoing Girassi as a center forward, but also partner with Girassi to form a double striker, or behind the center forward as a second striker. In addition, Bayer also has excellent ability to break through the side, which can bring more attacking options for the team.
