Ter Stegen sees Brandt soon in Klopp's German squad

Marc ter Stegen is impressed by the flying start of his teammate Julian Brandt at Ajax, while the German goalkeeper himself has already been called up again for the national team. He believes it is only a matter of time before Brandt also gets to join Jürgen Klopp’s squad.

Ter Stegen praises Brandt’s contribution to Ajax, where the midfielder has already scored several goals and provided assists in the first weeks of the season. The German keeper calls his compatriot’s form an example for the rest of the team.

Ter Stegen’s call-up for the German national side confirms his status as a regular choice after a disappointing World Cup. He sees Brandt’s continuation in the Eredivisie as a logical step towards a place in Klopp’s formation.

The Nations League 2026/27

After the disappointing World Cup, the Dutch national team, known as the Oranje, faces the next challenge: the Nations League 2026/27. In the group stage, the Oranje will meet Germany, Serbia and Greece.

The contrast between Ter Stegen’s immediate return to the national squad and Brandt’s still‑to‑be‑proven status highlights how club performances can influence international opportunities. A possible call‑up for Brandt would further strengthen Klopp’s German selection.
