PSV's interest in Julian Brandt has been confirmed by Earnest Stewart, the club's technical director, in an interview with Goedemorgen Eredivisie. The information comes from VoetbalPrimeur.
This story discusses unconfirmed interpretations. Speculation is identified clearly and should not be read as established fact.
According to Stewart, PSV was indeed interested in signing Julian Brandt, but was unable to do so. Brandt made a strong impression during the top match in the Johan Cruijff Arena, where he played for Ajax. The 30-year-old German was presented by Ajax in late July, and technical director Jordi Cruijff considered keeping him as the highlight of the summer.
Stewart acknowledged that Brandt was also on PSV's list, and that he was an old acquaintance of Peter Bosz, with whom he worked at Bayer Leverkusen. However, Stewart stated that PSV was not able to sign Brandt at the time, as they were not in a position to do so.
