# Liverpool target Brandt closing in on Dortmund move

Liverpool transfer target Julian Brandt is closing in on a move to Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund.

[According to Bild, via Calcio Mercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/juve-brandt-si-allontana-ecco-chi-e-piu-vicino-a-prenderlo-74776), Brandt is close to sealing his transfer to Dortmund from Bayer Leverkusen.

The report claims that Atletico Madrid, PSG and Juventus have all shown an interest, [alongside Liverpool](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/media-watch/346158-liverpool-fc-transfers-julian-brandt), in the midfielder ahead of the summer transfer window.

Brandt started his career as a winger, but has developed into a central midfielder this season for Leverkusen and been a star in the league with his performances – recently winning a Bundesliga Player of the Month award.

Bild claim that he has already held discussions with Dortmund and that he has a release clause at Leverkusen which is valued at roughly €25m.

The 23-year-old has scored five times in 30 appearances for Leverkusen in the Bundesliga this season, along with a further three strikes in the Europa League and German Cup.
