Consistent reports have indicated that Borussia Dortmund are considering offloading Julian Brandt this summer, a year before his contract expires.
However, ahead of Dortmund’s 4-0 win over Wolfsburg on Saturday, sporting director Sebastian Kehl played down the speculation, saying the 29-year-old is likely to remain at the club next season.
“The likelihood is high – he has a contract. But we’re not that far along yet; we haven’t talked about it,” Kehl told Sky Germany when asked about Brandt’s future.
Brandt has recently reminded Dortmund of his value, scoring in last week’s 3-2 win over Hoffenheim and registering two assists in the dominant victory against Wolfsburg.
The attacking midfielder joined Dortmund from Bayer Leverkusen in 2019 for a fee of €25 million.
