Julian Brandt: Borussia Dortmund Contract Extension
Julian Brandt, a 29-year-old midfielder, has been offered a contract extension by the club and is currently reviewing it. The club desires a one-year extension, though a two-year contract is also a possibility, contingent on salary concessions.
Sky reports that club officials have decided the playmaker should remain with the team beyond this season. According to the report, Brandt must accept a reduction in salary and agree to a performance-based contract. The pay-TV broadcaster states that the Bremen native currently earns between seven and eight million euros per year. It is also reported that Brandt himself would like to stay in Dortmund and may be willing to accept a pay cut.
Bild reports that Julian Brandt's chances for a contract extension at Borussia Dortmund have increased, provided he continues to perform consistently. Trainer Niko Kovac is convinced by Brandt.
According to Bild, Julian Brandt is among six players at Borussia Dortmund whose contracts are set to expire at the end of the current season. The club previously had a strict policy that none of these players would be offered an early contract extension. It is now reported that one player is forcing the club's management to reconsider, provided a certain agreed condition continues to be met.
Julian Brandt's future at Borussia Dortmund is uncertain as his contract expires next year. Lars Ricken, the managing director, mentioned on 'Sky' that they are open to a contract extension if his performance improves. Brandt has struggled in the past season and lost his starting position under Niko Kovac but managed to score after being substituted during the season opener against FC St. Pauli.
Borussia Dortmund aims to make Julian Brandt a key figure for the future. The club is initiating contract extension talks with Brandt, as reported by 'Sport Bild'. The new contract is expected to last until 2028, with discussions set to begin soon with the 30-year-old.
