Julian Brandt has been in impressive form at Borussia Dortmund for weeks. However, this is apparently arousing the interest of several top clubs in the national player, whose BVB contract expires in the summer of 2024.
Nine games, nine wins: Borussia Dortmund’s record in 2023 is flawless.
One face of BVB’s now almost frightening series is undoubtedly Julian Brandt. Goal scorer, driver and, surprisingly, also a worker: Brandt is currently slipping into several roles with the black and yellow.
BVB sports director Sebastian Kehl recently confirmed that the top performer was a “giant step forward” in an interview with “Bild”. Brandt’s contract situation is also “of course known to him”.
From BVB’s point of view, this is quite a challenge: Brandt’s contract with the Revierklub expires in 2024.
Then the 26-year-old, who has been considered a candidate for deletion several times in recent years due to inconsistent performance, could change for free.
BVB: Two top clubs are hot for Julian Brandt
But one or the other club should try to get Brandt next summer if his performances remain at the current level.
According to “Bild”, two top clubs have already kept an eye on the former Leverkusen player. Accordingly, these are Arsenal FC and Tottenham Hotspur from the English Premier League.
The Gunners, currently leaders in what is probably the best league in the world, have been associated with Brandt in the past.
It is said that Brandt let intimate circles know that a move to the island would one day appeal to him.
BVB under pressure at Julian Brandt
BVB, which is said to be planning an extension with Brandt, is putting pressure on the interests of the two London heavyweights.
If the native of Bremen decides to do so, he has the best arguments in the possible negotiations with Dortmund to demand a financially lucrative deal.
The problem with all BVB contract negotiations at the moment: The second in the Bundesliga table has taken up the cause of paying its professionals based on performance in the future.
Less basic salary, but higher success bonuses? The very rich English can only smile at this approach.
