70 million transfer? Bayer: I noticed the transfer rumors, but I want to stay in Dortmund

Hupu September 13th In the final stage of the transfer market this summer, rumors about Maximilian Bayer's transfer to the Premier League from Dortmund are rampant. Brentford reportedly had intended to introduce the German international, but he refused the invitation from the English club. For the Dortmund player, transfers have never been an option.

"I noticed some reports circulating. I also had the opportunity to hear some comments from my teammates," Baier commented to European Sports with a smile, the rumors surrounding him. However, he said he hadn't really considered a transfer yet.

"I talked to Niko Kovac about this and he told me very clearly that I should stay here. During the conversation, I also hinted to him that I have no idea of ​​leaving and that I want to stay in Dortmund." The 22-year-old further clarified in an interview with the TV station.

The head coach publicly expressed his support for him to stay, which is a commendable thing for the center: "I am certainly happy that the coach commented on me like this and I have such a high opinion of me." Kovac explicitly denied rumors about Bayer's transfer to England. “He feels comfortable here and I don’t want him to leave,” Kovac said at the end of August.

In the summer of 2024, Dortmund signed Byer for about 30 million euros. The right-footed player then signed a five-year contract until 2029. Despite the length of the contract, several English clubs have expressed interest in the German player.

Brentford is said to be particularly keen on signing the former Hoffenheim player. Aston Villa is also said to be considering signing the attacking player. There were rumors that his transfer fee was as high as 70 million euros.
