Premier League
The future of Julian Brandt has become one of the most discussed topics in the winter market.
The German attacking midfielder, currently at Borussia Dortmund, is in the last year of his contract, and several Premier League clubs such as Aston Villa, Tottenham, and Newcastle United are seriously considering signing him in January.
Brandt, 29, is no longer a guaranteed starter at Dortmund. Internal competition and the arrival of new players have pushed him into a secondary role. With his contract about to expire, the German club is considering transferring him in winter to avoid losing him for free in the summer. According to the English press, the deal could be closed for a reduced price, making it a market opportunity.
Aston Villa's Interest in Brandt
Aston Villa, under Unai Emery, sees Brandt as a potential replacement for Emiliano Buendía, who may leave in the coming months. Birmingham's team has already strengthened its midfield with Harvey Elliott, but the experience and versatility of the German international are appealing. Emery is looking for a player who can bring imbalance and goals from the creation zone, and Brandt fits perfectly into that idea.
Newcastle Seeks Depth in Midfield
Newcastle United, which has already made surprising signings like Jacob Ramsey, values adding Brandt as a quality alternative. Eddie Howe does not see it as an urgent need, but the opportunity to sign an international player from Germany, with experience in the Champions League, at a reasonable cost, is hard to ignore. Additionally, Brandt could be key to strengthening a squad that aims to establish itself among the top four in the Premier League.
Tottenham, Obligated to React
Tottenham Hotspur seems to be the club most in need of a player of this profile. After failing to sign Eze, Gibbs-White, or Nico Paz during the summer, James Maddison's serious injury has opened a gap in the lineup that needs to be urgently filled. Although Xavi Simons arrived in the final hours of the market, Thomas Frank continues to demand an attacking midfielder with immediate experience, and that is where Brandt emerges as an obvious solution.
With over 350 professional matches and more than 60 goals in his career, Julian Brandt brings both creativity and goal-scoring ability. His versatility allows him to play as an attacking midfielder, central midfielder, or even on the wing, which is highly valued in the demanding Premier League.
The winter market is usually challenging for major deals, but the low cost of the German makes his signing a golden opportunity. Dortmund, on the other hand, could take advantage of January to seal a beneficial agreement, as they do not see him as an untouchable asset.
The outcome will depend on which club is willing to take the decisive step. The truth is that Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Tottenham see Julian Brandt as an addition capable of raising the competitiveness of their projects.
