Transfer battle for Brandt replacement: BVB face Soulé rivals | OneFootball

A new Julian Brandt is being sought. The 30-year-old midfielder will officially leave Borussia Dortmund in a few days. So far, BVB have not yet secured a successor for the gifted technician. One of the candidates is said to be Matías Soulé (23).

The Italo-Argentine has been under contract with AS Roma since 2024. However, Soulé made his first Serie A appearances in the shirt of Juventus Turin. He spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Frosinone Calcio. The creative dribbler currently has 111 matches in Italy’s top flight to his name, scoring 23 goals and providing 13 assists.

Despite a contract running until 2029, Soulé is apparently looking for a new club, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. Alongside vague interest from Aston Villa and AFC Bournemouth, Borussia Dortmund is considered a possible destination for the former Argentina youth international. As Sky reports, the 23-year-old’s contract includes a fixed release clause of between €25 million and €30 million. However, that option will likely expire on June 30.

Roma must sell

According to information from Corriere dello Sport, Bayer Leverkusen have entered the race for Soulé. The Werkself disappointed last season by finishing sixth in the table, thereby missing out on qualification for the Champions League. The Roma player could bring fresh impetus to the Rhineland club’s attacking efforts.

According to the report, Soulé also remains on the radar of several Premier League clubs. However, it is currently impossible to say who has the edge. Roma, though, are apparently under pressure to act. According to media reports, the capital club is forced to generate a transfer surplus of up to €80 million this summer.
