Borussia Dortmund are open to sending out Lazio linked winger Julian Brandt on a loan deal with a buy option attached.

As reported by Italian newspaper La Repubblica (via LazioNews24) earlier today, the Biancocelesti are looking to sign wingers that fit coach Maurizio Sarri’s 4-3-3 system, with German winger Julian Brandt being the club’s number one target.

This is good news for Lazio, although they still need to sell Argentinian forward Joaquin Correa first. Talks with Paris Saint-Germain are currently at a standstill but could be unlocked after the Copa America.

The 25-year-old Brandt, who is contracted to Dortmund until 2024, made 31 Bundesliga appearances last season, for a total of 1490 minutes. In that time, he scored three goals and provided two assists.
