Galatasaray are reportedly tracking midfielder Julian Brandt, who is expected to leave Borussia Dortmund as a free agent this summer.
According to "Sky", the Turkish club has already contacted the player, reports "Gazeta Express".
Galatasaray could meet his salary demands and also offer the 30-year-old the opportunity to continue competing in the Champions League.
There will be no transfer fee, as it has long been clear that Brandt's contract with Dortmund, which expires at the end of June, will not be renewed.
His future still remains open, while he himself has confirmed that the decision will not be delayed until August.
Since the announcement of his departure, speculation about his next destination has increased.
A transfer outside Germany seems more likely than staying in the Bundesliga.
Galatasaray could reunite Brandt with former Germany teammates Leroy Sané and İlkay Gündoğan, and for that reason the Turkish club is optimistic about signing him.
However, according to Sky, the player's preference is said to be Spain.
He is reportedly learning Spanish and Barcelona is one of the possible destinations.
Villarreal and Atlético Madrid are also monitoring the situation.
A move outside of Europe, such as to Japan or the USA, is still considered early for the midfielder, who wants to continue at the highest European level.
Brandt has played 307 games for Borussia Dortmund, scoring 57 goals and providing 70 assists.
Although he was not always a starter last season, he remained an important player under Niko Kovac, who had sought to keep him at the club.
His last match with Germany was in November 2024 and he has not been called up since, making it difficult to be included in Germany's plans for the 2026 World Cup.
He has nearly 50 appearances for the German national team.
Meanwhile, Galatasaray continues its dominance in the Turkish Super League, winning four consecutive titles and reaching the round of 16 of the Champions League in the 2025/26 season./Express newspaper/
