After leaving BVB: Everton eye up Julian Brandt | OneFootball

Julian Brandt is leaving. After seven years in black and yellow, the midfielder is departing the Bundesliga club from Westphalia. This summer, the 29-year-old’s chapter at Borussia Dortmund will come to an end. The sporting future of the Bremen native likely lies abroad.

In the summer of 2019, BVB paid 25 million euros to Bayer Leverkusen for Brandt. Since then, he has played 298 competitive matches for the Ruhr club, scoring 56 goals and providing 69 assists. By the end of this season, he is expected to make a few more appearances. He will most likely reach the “300” mark in the match against Hamburger SV (March 21, 6:30 p.m.) the weekend after next.

But in just a few months, it will be time to say goodbye to Dortmund. Brandt’s future seems to lie abroad. FC Barcelona and Arsenal FC are said to be monitoring the BVB professional. There is reportedly concrete interest from Everton, according to Football Insider.

Move abroad likely

Back in the summer of 2025, the Toffees were already considering signing Brandt. Since then, the 29-year-old has been high on the list of the current eighth-placed team in the Premier League. Due to his expiring contract, he is attractive to many clubs—not just Everton FC. With his market value of 20 million euros, the soon-to-be former Dortmund player would be a bargain.

At the nine-time English champions, Brandt is expected to boost the offense. With only 34 goals scored, the team led by head coach David Moyes (62) currently has the sixth-weakest attack in the Premier League. The team’s showpiece is its defense, with only 33 goals conceded—ranking third in the league.

Brandt himself, who has so far only played football in Germany, is said to be open to a move abroad. His preferred destinations are reportedly Spain, Italy, and England.
