First no: Julian Brandt snubs La Liga club! | OneFootball

Playing football where others go on vacation. RCD Mallorca are said to have made a serious effort to sign Julian Brandt. In a few weeks, the 30-year-old midfield artist’s contract with Borussia Dortmund will expire. It is still unclear which club the midfielder will join.

Brandt recently headed to the holiday island after the 3–2 win over Eintracht Frankfurt. BVB coach Niko Kovac (54) had given his team three days off, which the Bremen native used for a short trip to Mallorca. His brother Jannis was competing in an Ironman there. Brandt’s girlfriend was also on site, and she lives not far from Barcelona.

But according to Transferfeed, his professional future does not lie on the Balearic island. The report says that talks between RCD Mallorca and Brandt have broken down. That means he will not continue his career with the Bermellones, who are also facing relegation from La Liga as second from bottom in the table.

Numerous top clubs are chasing Brandt

Nevertheless, the 48-time Germany international still appears keen on a move to Spain. But despite vague rumors in recent weeks, there has so far been no concrete development involving interested clubs Atlético Madrid and FC Barcelona.

Galatasaray have now also entered the race. The Istanbul club have already made contact and signaled strong interest in the midfielder, whose market value is currently estimated by Transfermarkt.de at €20 million.

Although there have also been inquiries from Major League Soccer (MLS) in North America, and even a move to Japan was under discussion, Brandt has other plans. The soon-to-be former Dortmund player is clearly prioritizing sporting success and is aiming for a transfer to a club that will be playing in the Champions League next season. One candidate is said to be AS Roma.
