After BVB exit: wild rumours over Julian Brandt | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund will part ways with Julian Brandt this summer. While an MLS club is reportedly getting serious, the rumors from Europe also keep coming.

Julian Brandt’s departure from Borussia Dortmund this summer is a done deal — but where the attacking player will go next remains unclear. While Brandt himself is keeping a low profile, the rumor mill surrounding his future is picking up more and more speed.

One particularly hot lead supposedly points to the United States. The portal Markaj News, which specializes in the North American market, reports that FC Cincinnati have concrete interest in signing him. According to the report, talks have already been initiated, and the club is optimistic about convincing the 29-year-old to make the move to MLS. Since Brandt’s contract in Dortmund is expiring, he would be available on a free transfer — a very attractive overall package for the US club.

However, whether the playmaker is ready to move across the Atlantic now is questionable. At the same time, persistent rumors continue linking him with possible destinations in Europe. According to transfer expert Ekrem Konur, Arsenal FC, AS Roma, Fenerbahçe SK, and FC Bayern Munich are among the interested clubs. In addition, other clubs are also monitoring the situation closely. For now, however, it remains unclear how concrete any of these links really are.

Brandt’s future remains unresolved after BVB exit

Brandt himself is not revealing anything when it comes to his future plans. “Wait and see,” he said recently, making it clear that no decision has been made yet. At the same time, he stressed: “There are many ideas — not every idea is a good one, but there are many ideas.”

For now, his focus is on a proper farewell in Dortmund. “There’s no need to rush it,” Brandt made clear, referring to the tasks still ahead with BVB. What matters to him is wrapping up his time at the club the right way: “It has to be brought to a proper close, and then there will be enough time.”

Even a move within the Bundesliga apparently cannot be ruled out. “In principle, I wouldn’t rule anything out,” the attacking player explained, while also suggesting that he does have certain preferences. One thing is certain: Julian Brandt’s future remains open — and the many rumors are likely to increase rather than die down in the coming weeks.
