Where will Julian Brandt go? First top club pulls out

Now it is official. Since July 1, 2026, Julian Brandt (30) is no longer a Borussia Dortmund player. After seven years in black and yellow, his BVB chapter has come to an end. His new club has not yet been decided. One top club from Spain has, for the time being, pulled out of the race for the midfielder.

With well over 500 games at professional level, Brandt brings a huge amount of experience. The Bremen-born player has also earned 48 caps for Germany (three goals) and took part in two World Cups and one European Championship. At his peak, his market value stood at 50 million euros. At present, transfermarkt.de still values him at 15 million euros.

Brandt continues to be linked with numerous clubs. According to SPORTBILD, the 30-year-old is keen on a move to Spain because his girlfriend lives in Catalonia. However, one La Liga suitor has apparently withdrawn its offer, as fichajes.net reports.

Sticking point: salary

According to the report, representatives of the former Dortmund player appeared on Tuesday (June 30) at Real Betis’ training ground, the Ciudad Deportiva Luis del Sol in Seville. There they negotiated with sporting director Manu Fajardo (41) over a possible move for the former BVB man to last season’s fifth-placed side.

The Heliopolitans apparently value the experienced professional’s qualities. Brandt’s eye for the decisive pass and his goal threat match the profile sought by the Andalusian club. However, the 30-year-old’s salary demands seem to exceed the budget of the Champions League participant, which has to act cautiously from a financial point of view.

For that reason, signing the attacking player is currently not under consideration. However, if the 1935 champions manage to complete a lucrative sale, the Brandt issue could return to the agenda. For now, though, an offer from the Spaniards is not expected.
