Borussia Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has commented on the future of Julian Brandt following recent speculation about a summer move.
The 28-year-old, who scored in Saturday’s 3-2 victory over Hoffenheim, received strong backing from Kehl after his performance.
“He still has a contract. We’ve been with him for many years, and he’s an incredibly important player for us,” Kehl told Sky Germany.
Brandt has just one year left on his contract, and unless both parties are keen on an extension, Dortmund may look to cash in on him this summer.
“We’re happy that he’s so important to us, and he will continue to be in the coming weeks,” said Kehl.
“After the season, like with all other matters, we will address his situation. I know he’s 100 percent BVB – and players like him are what we need.”
