Premier League trio reportedly eye winter move for Julian Brandt

Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly weighing up a winter move for Borussia Dortmund’s Julian Brandt.

With his contract expiring in the summer of 2026, Julian Brandt’s future at Borussia Dortmund remains uncertain.

According to Caughtoffside, Newcastle United, Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur are all monitoring the midfielder’s situation with a view to making a move in January.

If Dortmund choose not to extend Brandt’s contract, January will be their final chance to secure a transfer fee for the 29-year-old.

Borussia Dortmund’s managing director for sport, Lars Ricken, said last month that a decision on a contract extension will come over the course of the season.

“The contract is running out, but the future is open,” Ricken told Sky.

“We’re watching how the season unfolds. He’s working his way out of a rough patch, and I can also imagine a contract extension if his performances are right.”

Brandt joined Dortmund from Leverkusen in 2019.
