Borussia Dortmund’s sporting director Sebastian Kehl has set himself the goal of redistributing the salary structures in the squad and concluding performance-oriented contracts in the future. In the case of a BVB star, however, an exception is apparently made.
Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund definitely wants to keep offensive player Julian Brandt even after his current contract expires in the summer of 2024. Because: The 26-year-old is one of the best players in head coach Edin Terzic’s squad this season, his twelve points in the Bundesliga are the best within the team.
Of course, his top values make the 39-time German national player in demand. According to media reports, the two London clubs Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have put out feelers.
Should Brandt succumb to the lure, BVB could be forced to sell due to the contractual situation in order to collect a transfer fee. The contract situation is “of course known to him,” said sports director Sebastian Kehl at the end of February on “Bild”. The matter will be approached “calmly”.
BVB reportedly wants to raise Julian Brandt’s salary
As “Sport Bild” now reports, Kehl is now pushing the pace. BVB have already asked the players for a first date for negotiations and are pushing for a decision before the end of the season.
In order to convince Julian Brandt to sign in Dortmund, the district club is even willing to increase the salary. According to the Sportblatt, the native of Bremen is currently pocketing around seven million euros, and this sum could be increased significantly in the new contract. In the case of Youssoufa Moukoko, the club had already reached its financial limits, and the attacker signed a new, high-paying contract with the Bundesliga club in winter.
In fact, sporting director Kehl has made it his mission that BVB should primarily sign performance-oriented contracts in the future. The base salary should decrease, but the players can earn more money by achieving personal goals.
According to media reports, captain Marco Reus currently has a contract offer that would halve his current basic salary. The working paper of the BVB icon expires at the end of June.
