Clear signal: BVB star Brandt set for a move? | OneFootball

After starting the season on the bench, Julian Brandt is causing a stir off the pitch at BVB. His camp is apparently already exploring options for a move abroad.

Julian Brandt is making headlines at Borussia Dortmund once again – but not just on the field. According to Sky, the 29-year-old has sought additional support for the current and upcoming transfer periods: his father and agent Jürgen Brandt has commissioned the internationally renowned agency Wasserman to look for a new club for the attacking player. The mandate is exclusively for clubs abroad.

In terms of sports, the national player is actually a fixture at BVB. Last season, he participated in 30 Bundesliga matches with 15 goal involvements, although he was often criticized for lacking consistency. However, at the start of the season, he found himself on the bench twice – both in the DFB-Pokal against Essen and in the league against FC St. Pauli. After being substituted in at St. Pauli, he scored a remarkable goal to make it 3-1, but in the end, Dortmund only managed a 3-3 draw.

Contract talks between BVB and Brandt are on hold

While Brandt continues to show his class on the field, the signals regarding his future are mixed. His contract with BVB runs until 2026, but according to Sky, there are currently no talks about an extension. Expert Patrick Berger considers a short-term transfer this summer "rather unlikely," but movement in the matter could occur by winter at the latest.

BVB boss Lars Ricken also recently commented on Sky90: "A relationship of trust has developed, and in the coming months, we'll get a sense of where the journey is headed. I believe he knows what he has at BVB. Even though he hasn't played now, Niko (Kovac, editor's note) values him. If he shows such reactions, I'm sure he'll be back in the starting eleven very soon."

Julian Brandt's case is supported not only by his sporting role but also by his position in the locker room: Coach Niko Kovac relies on him as vice-captain. Nevertheless, the collaboration with the agency indicates a clear signal – a departure from Dortmund is not out of the question.
