Borussia Dortmund confirm Germany international will leave as free agent after seven years with Bundesliga giants
Borussia Dortmund have officially confirmed that Julian Brandt will leave the club as a free agent at the end of the current season. The 29-year-old playmaker, who has been a central figure at the Signal Iduna Park for nearly a decade, will see his contract expire this summer without a renewal. The news marks the end of a significant chapter for the Bundesliga giants as they prepare for a summer of transition under their current leadership.
Manchester City reignited the Premier League title race with a 2-1 win over leaders Arsenal. Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki scored for City as they cut the gap to three points with a game in hand. The match also featured a defining duel between Haaland and Gabriel, with Gabriel avoiding a red card.
In Germany, Bayern Munich sealed the Bundesliga title with a 4-2 win over Stuttgart. Bayern came from behind to clinch their 35th German championship with four games to spare. Harry Kane scored his 56th goal of the season and now has 32 goals in 27 Bundesliga appearances.
Juventus strengthened their position in Serie A with a 2-0 home win over Bologna. Jonathan David and Khephren Thuram scored as Juventus opened a five-point cushion in fourth place and moved within three points of Milan and Napoli, who are joint second. Luciano Spalletti said Juventus are on the right track and that the players care for each other and share the burden. Bologna coach Vincenzo Italiano said the season is basically over after the defeat and that his side had no time to prepare after the Europa League against Aston Villa.
Milan moved into second place with a 1-0 win at Verona. Adrien Rabiot scored the only goal as Milan stayed on track for a top-four finish. Max Allegri said Milan have to lock down a Champions League spot and that the club started a journey together and will continue. Milan director Igli Tare said Allegri has a very long contract and that the club is planning for the future together.
