“There have already been a few reports. The fact is that there were open discussions and it was agreed that the expiring contract would not be extended," Ricken said.
“(He's) played a few hundred games for Borussia Dortmund. I think we can only be grateful to him. He played for us for seven years and was sometimes viewed critically.
“He will be 30 in a few weeks, we can reorient ourselves, so it can also be an opportunity for both sides. We were ultimately in agreement.”
According to L’Interista, Inter have already reached out to Brandt’s representatives in the hope he will join in the summer.
