After BVB exit: clear signs over Brandt’s future | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund and Julian Brandt will part ways this summer. There is already a clear trend emerging regarding the future of the attacking player.

The time together for Julian Brandt and Borussia Dortmund will end this coming summer. The 29-year-old’s contract is expiring and will not be renewed—this was confirmed by Dortmund’s sporting CEO Lars Ricken over the weekend. Sporting director Sebastian Kehl also confirmed to Sky that the decision has already been discussed internally. “I sat down with Jule. We talked things through and will go our separate ways from the summer. This could be an opportunity for both sides.”

Several factors play a role in Brandt’s departure from BVB. Among other things, the club wants to adjust its wage structure and at the same time establish a new hierarchy within the squad. As a result, Brandt will leave the club on a free transfer after seven years. This opens up an attractive situation for the attacking player on the transfer market. According to Sky, a clear trend is already emerging: Brandt wants to continue his career abroad. A move to another Bundesliga club is currently not an option.

The creative player is particularly attracted to the major European leagues. Brandt can imagine a move to England, Spain, or Italy. The fact that he now speaks Spanish and has a Catalan girlfriend could further favor a possible move to Spain.

Brandt set to leave BVB: Top clubs reportedly interested

Among the clubs monitoring his situation, according to Sky, are FC Barcelona and Arsenal FC, among others. However, no concrete offers have been made so far. According to the report, there have also not yet been any in-depth talks with Brandt’s father and advisor, Jürgen.

Interesting: According to the pay-TV broadcaster, Brandt, who was born in Bremen, already had two concrete offers from England in the winter. However, Brandt decided against a move at that time, as both the player and the club were still leaning towards continuing their cooperation—albeit on significantly reduced terms.

Now the decision has been made: Brandt will leave Borussia Dortmund in the summer. This not only marks the end of a seven-year chapter at BVB—but most likely also a move abroad.
