Bayer Leverkusen Winger Julian Brandt Declares That He Is 'Not Scared to Reject Bayern Munich Again'

Bayer Leverkusen winger Julian Brandt is in high demand at the moment after hitting good form in the Bundesliga, but has calmed fans bystating:"I would not be scared to dismiss Bayern [Munich]for a second time. The same goes for other clubs, too."

The winger turned the Bavarianoutfit down in 2013 when he opted to join Leverkusen from Wolfsberg, believingthat it would be better for the progression of his career.

The winger has already been linked with Liverpool, who are looking for a player of his type and admitted in October that joining Bayern would be "an interesting option", while he has also hinted at considering a move abroad.

However, on the chances of renewing his Leverkusen deal, he said: "Of course that is possible. I feel very comfortable here and I know what I've got here. We're constantly in good talks.

"If it were up to me, the summer would be the right time [to reveal a decision]. I don't want to deal with this forever. It gets annoying and performances will suffer because of it."

"I am convinced Julian will be playing for Leverkusen for many more years," Leverkusen director Rudi Voller said in October.

"I am not surprised that teams like Bayern and other big clubs from across Europe are keeping an eye on him. That's a compliment for what we do."

Brandt hasn't been as prolific in front of goal so far this season, with just two goals compared to the nine that he ended up with at the end of the 2015/16 season. He is, however, providing more assists for his teammates with six already this season.

"But we know what Julian's contract looks like and we know he is feeling very good here.

"It would not be the first time a player reaches a stage where he wants to leave. I hope it will not happen with Julian, but we will just move on if it happens."
