Graham Smyth says Leeds United must ‘wait and watch’ on Julian Brandt talks | OneFootball

Julian Brandt is still weighing up his next move as Leeds United explore a deal.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the 30-year-old attacking midfielder is a free agent after leaving Borussia Dortmund and Leeds are in talks with his representatives. Competition is expected from clubs playing European football.

Brandt’s father was filmed at Real Betis’ training facility amid reports of interest, and the La Liga side can offer Champions League football. Even so, they are not pressing ahead at present and are thought to be well stocked in his position. That aligns with indications that Brandt has Champions League options.

The picture suggests Brandt is shopping around. For Leeds, it is one to wait and watch to see if they can make headway.

Leeds hope the pull of Premier League football can help, with Brandt yet to test himself in England despite a career rich in European and international experience.

Questions remain over how he would handle the Premier League’s physical load and delivering 90 minutes routinely. Leeds built success last season on intensity and running power, so arrivals must match that level. On the ball, his flair and creativity would be a welcome option.
