Julian Brandt plays down chances of Liverpool switch

Bayer Leverkusen attacker Julian Brandt plays down suggestions that he could join Liverpool.

Bayer Leverkusen attacker Julian Brandt has played down suggestions that he could join Liverpool in this summer's transfer window.

The 23-year-old has been in impressive form for Leverkusen this season, scoring nine times and contributing 18 assists in 41 appearances in all competitions.

Liverpool have been strongly linked with a summer move for the 24-time Germany international, who is believed to have a £21.5m buy-out clause in his current deal.

However, Brandt has insisted that he is "enjoying himself" at the BayArena and is keen to 'stay put'.

"I'm enjoying myself. I've got a contract with Bayer until 2021, so right now all is well. As things stand, I'm staying put. I just want to end the season as best we can," Brandt told the Bundesliga's official website.

Juventus and Real Madrid have also recently been credited with an interest in the versatile attacker.
