Where is Julian Brandt (29) headed? After seven years in the Borussia Dortmund shirt, the midfielder will be wearing a different jersey from next season onward. Much points to a move to Atlético Madrid.

The Colchoneros’ interest in Brandt is nothing new. At Atleti, those in charge are convinced that the soon-to-be former Dortmund player is the ideal successor to Antoine Griezmann (35). The French World Cup winner is set to move next summer to Orlando City in North America’s Major League Soccer (MLS). With his creativity and joy of playing, Brandt would be the ideal option for the attack, according to fichajes.net.

Brandt has already proven in Dortmund that he can lead a team. His quality in the final pass is exactly what Atlético are looking for. Since the Spaniards need to rejuvenate their attack, the versatility of the Bremen native comes at just the right time. Whether as a No. 10 or out wide, his adaptability and international experience would make him a valuable addition to Diego Simeone’s (56) team.

At the beginning of March, BVB announced that Brandt would leave the club at the end of this season. At present, the number 10 has made 304 appearances in all competitions in black and yellow, scoring 57 goals and also providing 70 assists.

Brandt is now looking for a new challenge, which could lie in the Spanish capital. A transfer to Atlético Madrid would see the 29-year-old open a new chapter in his career. The move to Spanish football would offer him the perfect setting to further develop his abilities in a new environment. Those in charge in Madrid are fully relying on his ability to adapt quickly. Thanks to his strong technique and understanding of the game, he is seen as the ideal fit for Simeone’s style.
