Borussia Dortmund Announces Brandt’s Departure at the End of the Season

Borussia Dortmund announced that German midfielder Julian Brandt will leave the team at the end of the current season, after both parties agreed not to extend the contract that expires in the summer of 2026, thus ending a career that spanned several years with the German club.

The club’s sporting director, Lars Ricken, confirmed that the decision came after mutual discussions between both parties, where it was amicably agreed not to extend the contract. He explained that Brandt contributed significantly to the club during his time there, noting that the club is very grateful for what the player has offered throughout his career with the team.
