Julian Brandt is reportedly moving closer to Roma after leaving Borussia Dortmund, with Donyell Malen said to be helping push the move. The pair built a strong attacking connection during their time together at BVB.

Roma are looking for attacking midfield quality and Brandt’s free-agent status makes him an attractive option. Malen’s relationship with him could help negotiations, but the deal still needs formal agreement before the summer window opens.
