Now, die Adler must reach an agreement with Mainz over a fee.
Frankfurt values Burkardt at around €20m, but die 05ers want more. Part of the reason behind this, reports Bild, is the fact that Burkardt himself will receive part of the transfer fee once the move is completed.
Once the Darmstadt native has moved to Deutsche Bank Park, he can either be used alongside Hugo Ekitiké or he can act as a replacement for the Frenchman in the event that he leaves the club this summer amid interest from the Premier League.
Burkardt helped Mainz qualify for the UEFA Conference League this season as they finished seventh in the Bundesliga. The 24-year-old ended the year with 18 goals and two assists, making him the top scoring German in the league, and he was able to play his way into the German national team.

Liverpool to enter talks over MASSIVE €70m offer
Liverpool could soon strike a deal on the back of a €70m offer. Talks are now set. Liverpool have been spectacularly busy in this transfer window. They've broken their transfer record, of course, by signing Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. Then there are the two most expensive full-backs in club history as Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez arrived. Now they're on the brink of signing Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt. Those are just the incomings, too. Trent Alexander-Arnold was sold to Real Madrid with just one month to run on his contract, while Caoimhin Kelleher has joined Brentford after pushing for a move for a couple of years now. Jarell Quansah was something of a surprise exit. He's off to Leverkusen, with Liverpool striking a deal that offers a buy-back clause. A lot of major transfers, then, that sees cash flowing in both directions. And the Reds certainly aren't finished there. Liverpool to enter Luis Diaz talks ESPN reports that Bayern Munich are on the brink of making another offer for Luis Diaz. The German giants have already seen one rejected. That initial offer, says the report, stood at around €67.5m. Liverpool quickly said no and now Bayern will try again at €70m before add-ons. It's long been reported that Liverpool would accept around €80m for Diaz and this new offer will get awfully close to that. The Colombian is pushing for the move, too, which might just make a difference here, especially if he's willing to waive a loyalty bonus by making a transfer request. This offer should arrive 'in the coming days' as Bayern look to get their priority signing sorted. Talks will happen and it sounds as though they could be successful.

Buenos Aires to host MotoGP races again after nearly 30 years and hopes to bring F1 back as well
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — After nearly three decades, MotoGP will return to Argentina's capital of Buenos Aires and a renovated racetrack in 2027, with local authorities hoping it will help bring Formula 1 back as well. The top motorcycling circuit has been staging its races in Argentina at the Termas de Río Hondo racetrack since 2014, in the province of Santiago del Estero. MotoGP last raced in Buenos Aires in 1999. 'Buenos Aires used to be the capital of motorsports and motorcycling in the region, and today it begins to regain that status,' Mayor Jorge Macri said Monday while making the announcement at the Óscar and Juan Gálvez racetrack. 'But we're going for more: this is the first step toward applying again to host Formula 1,' he added. To host the MotoGP event, the capital committed to a complete renovation of the municipal racetrack in October. Racing legends like Juan Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher competed there in the past. The German driver won the last F1 race there, in 1998. The work on the circuit will include the track, pits, paddock, bumpers and safety zones, according to the Buenos Aires City Hall. Organizers estimate that MotoGP will have a direct economic impact on the city of approximately $150 million. It will also generate jobs in sectors such as hospitality, gastronomy, transportation, and services. 'Bringing MotoGP to the city means the arrival of an elite competition, with the most important international teams and riders, which will be enjoyed by approximately 150,000 people at the track and millions of viewers via television and streaming in more than 200 countries,' Macri said. ___ AP sports:
