Following his departure from the Signal Iduna Park this summer, Julian Brandt is currently a free agent; however, he has been in talks with a Premier League side over a potential move.
Would This Be A Good Move For Julian Brandt?
Why Did Julian Brandt and Borussia Dortmund Part Ways This Summer
Julian Brandt has just come off the back of a 7-season stint at Borussia Dortmund that has now come to an end, following Borussia Dortmund and Julian Brandt himself deciding a change was needed for both parties going into next season, with the club in particular wanting to go in a new direction when it comes to transfer policy.
Other options For Julian Brandt
It has been previously reported by Burak Eren, a Turkish Journalist, that Julian Brandt, who is currently on holiday in Turkey, has been holding out for a move to La Liga this summer, but offers, particularly ones that interest him, have failed to arrive.
This has now led to Julian Brandt looking elsewhere, and it would appear that he has interest from the Premier League, with Leeds United reportedly exploring the possibility of signing the 30-year-old attacking midfielder.

Leeds have just come off the back of a successful season in their return to the Premier League, surviving pretty comfortably in the end, following an impressive run of form, having a spell of 15 wins in 17 matches across all competitions.
And it would now appear that Daniel Farke wishes to add more creativity to his side to provide star striker Calvert-Lewin with more opportunities to find the back of the net.
What Does Julian Brandt Bring To The Table?
Julian Brandt himself has come off the back of a strong season, registering 11 goals and 5 assists across 46 games for Borussia Dortmund.

He is a very well-rounded Number 10 and has an eye for goals and assists, as shown by his 57 goals and 67 assists across his seven-season stint at Borussia Dortmund. And with the ability to link up the play between defence and attack, Daniel Farke could do much worse than secure the services of the 48-time capped German International.
Author's Verdict
In summary, this move could prove to be perfect for Julian Brandt. It is a league he has been linked to in the past, with the well-known information by now that Jurgen Klopp wanted to sign Julian Brandt for Liverpool, but the club chose to sign the now-club legend, Mohammed Salah and Julian Brandt moved to Borussia Dortmund
Julian Brandt at Leeds United could be a lot like Granit Xhaka at Sunderland, a big-name player who walked into a squad where he was immediately one of the best players at the club. That is exactly what Julian Brandt would be.
And yes, he would still need to prove himself in a new country and new league, but he has bags of experience, playing for club and country, and if Leeds can get the same Julian Brandt that they had for many years, then it could prove to be a very shrewd bit of business for the Yorkshire-based side.
