Brandt to Dortmund for 22 million is a steal. I'm surprised Klopp didn't follow up his interest in this lad. He predominantly plays left wing but can also play in a more attacking midfield role and also on the right wing. Scores goals and had quite a few assists last season. Only 23 n all. 

It could be that he just wants to stay in Germany.  It's better than Britain at the moment, and going to Dortmund is fucking ace.  There's also the 2020 Euros next year, and he'll want regular starts at club level. 

 

You wonder how much Brexit might have an effect on foreign players as well, especially with the plunging pound.  I know footballers can live in a bubble, but the pounds was worth 1.44 euros back in 2015, you could sign a big contract here and bank it in Europe and be laughing.  It's not funny when your wage, usually negotiated in sterling, falls to 1.09 Euro's, and is in danger of dropping more.   A PL journeyman on £100k a week is getting €109k at the moment, but used to get €144k a week.

When the fuck was the exchange rate 1.44?

I think Brandt thought he would never be a first team player at Liverpool with our attacking players. Doubt playing him in midfield would have been an option in the Premier League either. 

 

No other explanation because there was concrete interest at one point and his price was incredibly cheap.

He's trebled his wages going to Dortmund, so I'm guessing he'll be happy. He's also family orientated and a bit of a lad next door type, so I'm not surprised that he's chosen Dortmund as his next club, not far away from his family in Bremen.

No odd one out, there's two. It's United and Spurs cause 3 of the former haven't happened yet and Lo Celso is still at Betis. The rest are all confirmed transfers, which is definitely what you meant.
