According to German outlet Express (h/t Ciaran Kelly of the Manchester Evening News), the two clubs will face off to land the 20-year-old, who has a release clause of £10.75 million in his contract.
His deal runs until 2019, but Brandt's father expects to hold talks with the Bundesliga outfit over a new contract: "We are always in touch with Bayer. I think that we’ll get together in the summer of 2017 at the latest to decide how to go on. I can understand that Leverkusen want clarity."
Brandt impressed last season as he notched 10 goals and eight assists in all competitions.
