Julian Brandt linked with Leeds United as agent visits Real Betis

Leeds United are reported to be pursuing former Borussia Dortmund midfielder Julian Brandt. Images show Brandt’s father and agent at Real Betis headquarters, suggesting the Spanish club is also courting the 30‑year‑old and may offer Champions League football. Leeds can counter with Premier League participation, but would need a substantial financial package to secure the player.

German football journalist Jürgen Koers described Brandt as a potential "game‑changer" for Leeds, highlighting his technical ability, passing range, and willingness to take risks. Koers noted that, despite strong club performances, Brandt has not fully realized his potential at the national level, but could add creativity and depth to Leeds' midfield if the move materialises.
