4 Possible signings for Atletico Madrid this summer

#2 Julian Brandt (Bayer 04 Leverkusen)

Bayer 04 Leverkusen v FC Zurich - UEFA Europa League - Group A

Julian Brandt is a 22-year-old left winger who currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. He also plays for Germany's national team, having made 23 appearances since his debut in May 2016.

Brandt has played 25 times for Leverkusen so far this season, scoring four goals and assisting 10. Brandt is mature beyond his years in terms of his football ability and has been compared to Leroy Sane, who also flourished in the Bundesliga before making the switch to Manchester City in the summer of 2016.

The winger only signed for Leverkusen for around £300k in 2014, and now, almost five years on from that move, Brandt is supposedly worth around £40m. Quite the investment.

Atletico Madrid need to be sure that Brandt is the player they want, as £40m is certainly no small amount to throw away. But given his performances for Bayer Leverkusen, and the fact he's proven himself already at senior level, this could be the ideal transfer in the summer.
