Julian Brandt explains late signing with Ajax Amsterdam

Julian Brandt took his time last summer to move to Ajax Amsterdam. The German international explained in the podcast “Spielmacher” why he chose the Dutch traditional club and why the signature came late, and emphasized that the decision was well thought out.

The transfer was only completed in the summer, even though talks had been ongoing earlier. Brandt said that he needed the necessary time to assess the sporting prospects in Amsterdam.

He stressed that Ajax, as a traditional club, offers a clear playing philosophy and develops young talent, which fits his long‑term development. The late completion is therefore not a sign of indecision, but of careful weighing.
