"I'm not thinking about a move at the moment. I still have a lot of desire to play for this club and don't think my time here is over," Brandt told WAZ.
A recent Bild report claiming that Dortmund are prepared to let Brandt go for a fee around €15 million is not a concern for the 25-year-old.
"I don't really care what people say, write or think about me - apart from the coach, of course. 35 new signings and departures are being reported in the media at BVB every summer and every winter. I don't worry much about that, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep at night," said Brandt and added:
"I have the feeling that something extremely good is developing here with the coach, his team and the guys, who play here.
"Of course, a lot can happen in life, and things can change suddenly. But there is no reason to change right now. I feel comfortable in Dortmund and I still have plans here."
Brandt has featured 36 times for Dortmund this season, chipping in with seven goals and 10 assists. His contract expires in 2024.
