Future still open: Ajax Amsterdam also keen on Julian Brandt | OneFootball

In four days, Julian Brandt’s contract with Borussia Dortmund will expire. After seven years at the club, the midfielder’s time at BVB will then officially be over. Where Brandt will continue his career, however, still remains unclear. The 30-year-old is reportedly weighing several options. Now, apparently, one in the Netherlands as well.

According to a report by WAZ, Ajax Amsterdam have sounded out Brandt and asked whether he would be open to a move to the Eredivisie. The Dutch record champions want to close the clear quality gap to champions PSV Eindhoven and are apparently looking to bring in experienced reinforcements from abroad. Marc-André ter Stegen is also reportedly on the verge of a move to Amsterdam, with the goalkeeper having not only missed out on the 2026 World Cup after a string of injuries in recent years, but also no longer having a future at FC Barcelona.

How Brandt feels about the Ajax option is not yet known. In the Netherlands, however, a move to Amsterdam is considered unlikely for financial reasons alone, particularly because of the high salary of the former Germany international.

Italy, England, Spain – or perhaps Turkey after all?

Before the Ajax rumors emerged, Brandt had most recently been linked mainly with Leeds United. Other Premier League links have so far failed to gain traction, and the same goes for speculation about a move to Atletico Madrid.

In recent weeks, AS Roma have also been credited with increased interest in Brandt, but the long-time BVB playmaker does not appear to be the Giallorossi’s first choice.

Galatasaray Istanbul are also said to have made contact several weeks ago and expressed interest in working together. However, the Turkish champions have apparently not taken any further steps so far, meaning Brandt’s future remains completely open at the moment.
