Juventus and Roma want Julian Brandt, but a Premier League move is more likely | OneFootball

Juventus and AS Roma want to sign Julian Brandt this summer, according to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio. 

The former Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder is a free agent, and the Serie A duo are on his trail.

However, he is more likely to move to the Premier League. The 30-year-old is still a fine playmaker who could do a job in the English top flight.

The German international bagged 11 goals and four assists in 41 appearances last term, taking his tally for BVB to 57 goals and 70 assists in 307 appearances following his move from Bayer Leverkusen. 

Brandt never quite reached the heights expected of him in his early career due to inconsistency, but he is an excellent player on his day.

He may enjoy a new lease of life in a new environment, even though interested Premier League clubs should be worried about his physicality and tendency to drift out of games.

Bournemouth might be perfect for Brandt

Bournemouth should be at the front of the queue if they are serious about adding creativity and experience to their squad ahead of their first-ever European campaign.

Brandt would provide genuine competition for Justin Kluivert while also offering the versatility to operate centrally or from either flank, giving the Cherries another attacking dimension. 

His previous spell under Marco Rose at Dortmund is another significant advantage, as the pair already understand each other. 

That familiarity could help Brandt settle quickly and make an immediate impact. 

With the added fixture load of European football, Bournemouth need proven quality and depth.

Brandt is a low-risk opportunity with the potential to be one of the summer’s smartest signings.
