Julian Brandt linked with Werder Bremen move

Werder Bremen are said to be interested in Borussia Dortmund’s Julian Brandt.

With just one year remaining on his contract at Borussia Dortmund, Julian Brandt’s is uncertain.

According to Sky Germany, Werder Bremen are keeping a close eye on the attacking midfielder’s situation. 

While Brandt has never played for Werder, he was born in Bremen and holds a strong personal connection to the club.

“As a little kid, I always told myself that I would become a professional and eventually return to Bremen. My younger brother plays there, my family lives in Bremen. I have a special bond with the city,” Brandt said in an interview with Sport1 in 2023.

Despite his ties to Werder, a move to Bremen currently appears unlikely, with Sky reporting that Werder would not be able to come close to matching Brandt’s reported annual salary of €8-9 million.

The key question is whether the 28-year-old would be willing to accept a significant pay cut to make the move happen.
