The Borussia Dortmund midfielder has been tentatively linked with Liverpool throughout his time with the Bundesliga side. The 29-year-old played the full 90 minutes in what was his third to last home game with Borussia Dortmund after it was decided in March that he would leave the club as a free agent upon the expiry of his contract this summer.

Despite Brandt heading for free agency, he is in no rush to find his next club, with the player focused on finishing his time with Borussia Dortmund on a high. It wouldn’t be fair to the club to suddenly start holding talks everywhere.” “We need to finish this cleanly, and then we’ll have enough time to think about what happens next.” Whilst he has emphasised his desire not to rush, he has revealed that he does have an idea of where he sees himself next playing his football.

But there are things I prefer, and there are things I can’t really imagine doing at the moment.” Tentatively linked to Liverpool on many occasions throughout his seven-year career with Borussia Dortmund, it has been widely documented that Julian Brandt was Jurgen Klopp’s preferred addition to his team before being convinced by the club about signing Mohamed Salah. He didn’t want to sign Mo Salah, he wanted to sign Julian Brandt and Liverpool had tried to sign Salah when he was at Chelsea, so the people behind the scenes were still there.” Julian Brandt’s career could’ve looked very different had Jurgen Klopp got his way back in 2017.
