Maximilian Beier

Maximilian Beier of Borussia Dortmund was born in Brandenburg an der Havel , Germany on 17 October 2002 (age 23).

Maximilian Beier, born on 17 October 2002 (age 23), is a German striker with Borussia Dortmund, where he wears the number 14 shirt. His current market value is around £25.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

Beier’s most productive league season came with 1899 Hoffenheim in 2023–24, when he scored 16 goals in 33 appearances. That return did the useful work of moving him from prospect to senior Bundesliga forward, without needing much embroidery around it.

At Dortmund in 2025–26, he remains a regular first-team presence. He has made 32 Bundesliga appearances, scoring nine goals, and has also played nine times in the Champions League, scoring once. Across all competitions for Dortmund, he has 41 appearances and 10 goals this season.

He has also been involved with Germany, making three European World Cup qualifying appearances this season. At club level, he added three Club World Cup appearances and scored once.

Beier’s career is still being shaped, but the outline is clear enough: a productive Hoffenheim season, a move into Dortmund’s regular group, and growing senior international involvement with Germany.

Maximilian Beier was a regular part of Borussia Dortmund's Bundesliga attack in 2025-26, making 32 appearances with 24 starts and scoring nine goals. That split pointed to a striker trusted from the start more often than not, while one Champions League goal in nine appearances and one Club World Cup goal in three added some continental contribution without making him Dortmund's main finisher.

Beier's career path showed steady upward movement: Energie Cottbus to 1899 Hoffenheim, a loan spell at Hannover 96, a return to Hoffenheim, then Borussia Dortmund. The standout scoring step came with 16 goals in 2023-24, followed by eight in 2024-25 and nine in 2025-26, suggesting he held a meaningful attacking role after his move to Dortmund rather than fading after the transfer.

The transfer history was clean and progressive. Hoffenheim picked Beier up from Energie Cottbus on a free transfer in 2018, sent him to Hannover 96 on loan in 2021, then brought him back in 2023 before Borussia Dortmund paid €24.00m for him in August 2024. His €30.00m market value sat above that fee, indicating his profile had strengthened since the move.
