England link still hot: fresh twist in Julian Brandt chase | OneFootball

Where will Julian Brandt end up this summer? That question still remains unanswered. The attacking player is currently without a club after Borussia Dortmund decided not to extend his contract.

There have been quite a few ideas since then, but nothing has really become concrete. Brandt has been linked with several clubs in Italy, and Serie A remains a serious option for him. But not the only one.

By now, there are reportedly even voices within BVB claiming that not extending his contract was a mistake. Well, whether that is actually true is something everyone can decide for themselves, but in any case, it is clear that the current situation is not ideal for the player either.

Brandt: Premier League remains an option

While the Italian suitors have not really stepped up their efforts for Brandt lately, and the rumor of a move to Celta Vigo quickly faded away again, the English Premier League remains in the picture.

Leeds United is the team pushing hardest for the attacking player. According to journalist Graham Smyth of the club-connected Yorkshire Evening Post, Brandt remains a topic at Elland Road, and Leeds coach Daniel Farke is said to view him as a very good and important addition.

However, the issue is this: Brandt would like to play for a team that is at least involved in European competition. That is not the case with Leeds, whereas it is much more so with the interested clubs from Italy. But it is also something of a poker game for him, because financially, an offer from Leeds would be reasonably lucrative.

According to the report, there have now also been new inquiries from Spain, which are of interest to Brandt as well. Ajax is also said to have asked about him and has already signed Marc-Andre ter Stegen. So it remains an intriguing situation.
