Leeds United aims to sign Julian Brandt from Borussia Dortmund after his contract expiration this summer. The club faces competition primarily from AS Roma and Atletico Madrid, both of which are appealing options for the German playmaker due to their potential for Champions League participation. Leeds has reportedly contacted Brandt's representatives, but the player's interest in a La Liga move and Roma's direct outreach may complicate Leeds' effort. The club seeks to enhance its attacking options following a solid Premier League season.
