The 24-year-old was also on form for Germany during the recent international break. He 90 minutes against all three opponents in his country’s Nations League group, including England.
Borussia Dortmund are believed to be very keen on signing the Hoffenheim defender but may have to offload either Raphael Guerreiro or Nico Schulz in order to sanction a deal.
According to BILD (via BVB Buzz), West Ham and Newcastle are also interested and would both be willing to meet Hoffenheim’s €40m valuation of the player.
Raum is under contract for another four years so his club are in no immediate rush to sell him, but if they receive a suitable fee this summer they are unlikely to stand in the German’s way.
A Sky Germany report has added Manchester United to the mix. They claim that a summer transfer is ‘likely’ and Premier League suitors are in ‘pole position’ due to their financial muscle in comparison to that of Dortmund’s.
Manchester City have also been linked with Raum, but are believed to be focusing their left-back attention on Brighton’s Marc Cucurella.
Earlier this week, Fabrizio Romano reported that City are ready to submit their opening bid for the Spaniard.
He wrote on Twitter: “Manchester City are now set to submit opening proposal to Brighton for Marc Cucurella. First bid ready to proceed in advanced talks in the next days.
“Cucurella is still Man City top target as left back, Pep Guardiola really wants him. Work in progress.”
Meanwhile, Romano has also confirmed that Oleksandr Zinchenko will be allowed to leave City this summer with interest in the Ukrainian high.
