Julian Brandt has decided to commit his future to Borussia Dortmund after links with Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Brandt looked like being a man in demand come the end of the season.
The playmaker was inside the final 18 months of his contract and attracting major interest.
Bild reporter Christian Falk told Caught Offside in March that Arsenal were ‘more interested than ever’ in a deal for Brandt.
Falk also suggested that Tottenham had been been making enquiries into possibly signing the German.
90Min then added Liverpool and Newcastle United into the mix, claiming both teams are interested in Brandt.
Liverpool actually wanted to sign Brandt in 2017 according to the Liverpool Echo, and failing to do so meant the Reds pivoted to Mohamed Salah.
All of these clubs will have been very interested in Brandt but have been left very disappointed.
