According to renowned German Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg, Chelsea have a concrete and significant interest in Hoffenheim attacker Maximilian Beller, who is currently playing for the German national team at the Euros.
Beller, 21, is versatile, capable of playing as a center forward or on either wing. His speed is his most potent asset. Last season, he featured in 35 matches for Hoffenheim, scoring 16 goals across all competitions.
Plettenberg reveals that Chelsea have been actively gathering information on Beller and are considering signing him this summer. It’s understood that the player has a release clause in his contract worth around €30 million.
The report concludes by stating that Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen, along with several other Premier League clubs, are also interested in Beller. At present, Chelsea are not in a leading position for his signature.
