Brandt can easily play for Barcelona or Real Madrid if he reaches his full potential, says former coach

A move to Barcelona or Real Madrid “would be possible without any problems” for Borussia Dortmund's Julian Brandt, according to his former coach Dirk Kunert, but only if the Germany international reaches 100 per cent of his potential.

Brandt joined Dortmund from Bayer Leverkusen in 2019 for a reported fee of €25 million (£22m/$27m) and has helped Lucien Favre's side to second in the Bundesliga table, just four points behind leaders Bayern Munich.

And while Brandt continues to impress, Kunert, who trained the Germany international during his time with Wolfsburg's Under-19s, believes that there is still potential to be unlocked in a player he feels can reach the very top of the game.
