AS Roma is actively looking to bolster its attacking midfield and has reportedly identified a prominent target in Germany: Julian Brandt of Borussia Dortmund. According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Giallorossi’s interest in the talented German international has become significantly more concrete in recent weeks.
Brandt is said to have made the decision not to extend his current contract with the Bundesliga club, thereby opening the door for a potential transfer as early as the upcoming summer transfer window. Italy is reportedly a preferred destination for the player, and the capital city, along with AS Roma’s ambitious project, is considered an enticing option for the midfielder.
Further indicating the seriousness of Roma’s pursuit, the player’s Italian agent, Francesco Randazzo, has reportedly already engaged in discussions with Roma’s sporting director, Frederic Massara. These talks are believed to cover both contractual terms and the player’s financial expectations.
Financially, Brandt currently earns approximately 3.5 million euros per season, a figure that could rise to 4 million euros with performance-related bonuses. This salary falls within the parameters set by AS Roma, which generally caps individual salaries around the 4 million euro mark. While other prominent clubs, including Juventus and Como, are also monitoring Brandt’s situation, his potential arrival would represent a substantial acquisition of quality and experience, significantly enhancing the overall level of the Giallorossi squad.
