Leeds United stance on Julian Brandt outlined amid aggressive market push | OneFootball

Leeds Live reports that Leeds United are taking an aggressive stance in this window, but interest in Julian Brandt has progressed no further than initial talks.

The 30-year-old, an attacking midfielder or winger, is set to become a free agent with his Borussia Dortmund contract expiring. He has drawn attention from clubs across Europe, including teams offering Champions League and Europa League football.

European competition is a major draw for the 43-cap German international, which is one reason some have played down Leeds’ chances. For now, there is no indication of a formal offer and the club are not fully in at this stage.

So far, contact with the player’s representatives has been only at a very early stage.

Leeds are willing to explore the opportunity in free agency, but discussions are not advanced and competition is heavy, particularly from sides with European football.
