Unconfirmed reports suggest that negotiations over the transfer of Julian Brandt are ongoing, with Leeds United pushing to land the midfielder from Dortmund to strengthen their squad. Discussions are said to be constructive, with the structure of the deal - including add-ons and bonuses - now under consideration, although there is currently no confirmation of an agreed fee for the player. The player is aware of the interest and would reportedly be open to the move, should personal terms be agreed. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Galatasaray, Barcelona and Arsenal decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. In season 25/26, Leeds United are conceding 1.68 goals per game (47 in 28 games), which points to a lack of control in midfield. Julian Brandt would be expected to calm things down and protect the back line better. Speculation continues to connect Leeds United with Ousmane Diomande, Ayase Ueda and Harry Wilson while no fresh rumours surround Dortmund. Can't get enough Leeds United transfer rumours?
