Julian Brandt, a 30-year-old German midfielder, is a new player for Ajax after signing as a free agent until June 2029, following the end of his time at Borussia Dortmund. The move comes during the summer transfer window and coincides with the imminent arrival of Marc-André Ter Stegen at the Dutch club, which continues to strengthen its squad for the new season. 

The signing of Brandt is a significant addition to the project that Ajax is building. The German international's contract with Borussia Dortmund expired on June 30, allowing him to negotiate freely with other clubs before choosing the offer from the Amsterdam team. 

Julian Brandt leads Ajax's reconstruction

Ajax had been working for several months on incorporating Brandt, a transfer that was completed at no transfer cost due to his free agent status. The new contract for the attacking midfielder will run until 2029, a long-term commitment through which the club aims to add experience and quality to its midfield.

During his time at Borussia Dortmund, Brandt played in over 300 official matches, becoming one of the most experienced players in the German team. However, the club decided not to extend his contract, paving the way for his departure this summer. 

In addition to Ajax's interest, the player also attracted attention from other European clubs, but ultimately chose the sporting project presented from Amsterdam.

Ter Stegen and Míchel, the next pieces of the project

The arrival of Brandt will not be Ajax's final move. The Dutch club is finalizing the signing of Marc-André Ter Stegen, who will leave Barcelona to play on loan for a season at the team managed by Míchel. The agreement between the parties is almost finalized, with only the final procedures remaining to make it official. 

The reunion between Ter Stegen and Míchel adds a new dimension to the Ajax project. The Spanish coach had previously requested the signing of the goalkeeper and believes his experience can be crucial for a squad that combines established players with young talents. 

The new scenario after Julian Brandt's arrival

With Julian Brandt now on board and Ter Stegen close to signing, Ajax enters the final phase of the transfer market with many of their objectives accomplished. The sports management remains attentive to potential opportunities, but the immediate focus is on integrating both German internationals into Míchel's team before the official start of the season.
