Real Madrid 'weighing up £52m Julian Brandt offer'

Real Madrid have reportedly identified Borussia Dortmund attacker Julian Brandt as a potential signing during this summer's transfer window.

The 24-year-old, who joined Dortmund from Bayer Leverkusen last summer, has been in impressive form at club level this term, scoring seven times and contributing eight assists in 33 appearances in all competitions.

According to reports in Spain, Madrid are interested in signing the Germany international ahead of the 2020-21 campaign as Zinedine Zidane looks to improve his options going forward.

The report claims that BVB have placed a €60m (£52m) valuation on Brandt, which Los Blancos would be required to meet in order to sign him this summer.

Brandt has played in a number of different positions for Lucien Favre's side this term, although he has largely operated as a central attacker.

Madrid, meanwhile, could allegedly battle Barcelona for the signature of Portuguese teenager Herculano Nabian ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.
