Dad denies Bayern Munich deal for Liverpool target Brandt

The father of Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Julian Brandt has denied reports of a deal with Bayern Munich.

Bild reported on Friday that Brandt, also a target for Liverpool, had made a verbal agreement with Bayern in what would be a €30m deal should it take place this summer, or €12.5m in 2018 thanks to a release-clause.

"There isn't any trend nor any agreement," said Jurgen, Julian's father, speaking to Sky Germany.

"Julian will speak to Leverkusen about the season and his future in the summer.

"There have been enquiries from Bayern as well as others - but only to me. I collect these but there's nothing concrete yet.

"Julian hasn't made any decision as to his future yet. He hasn't spoken with any of those responsible at Bayern such as [Karl-Heinz] Rummenigge, [Uli] Hoeness or [Michael] Reschke, nor has he spoken to [Carlo] Ancelotti."
