The UK are already set to host a number of matches, including the semi-final and final.
And PM BoJo told The Sun last night: “Any other matches they want hosted, we are certainly on for that!”
The suggestion received a cheeky thumbs up from Bild.
Their head of football Christian Falk wrote: “TRUE DEAL Dear @BorisJohnson, our proposal: you get the tournament, we get the trophy! sincerely, @BILD @BILD_Sport and Mr True #footballiscominghome”.
Germany’s Allianz Arena is currently scheduled to host four matches, including a quarter-final.
Johnson, 56, has also outlined his intention for the UK and Ireland to launch a joint bid to host the 2030 Fifa World Cup.
He told The Sun: “We are very, very keen to bring football home in 2030. I do think it’s the right place.
“It’s the home of football, it’s the right time. It will be an absolutely wonderful thing for the country.”
The Sun earlier revealed that Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s Budget on Wednesday will earmark £2.8million to promote the UK and Ireland’s official pitch to Fifa to hold the tournament.
There will also be £25million in new funding from the Treasury to help the grassroots game grow.
It would be enough to fund around 700 new pitches across the UK.
