Leon Goretzka is considered a designated candidate to leave FC Bayern next summer. However, they do not want to sell him in the winter. Now, however, an absolute top club could try to lure Goretzka to the island
Leon Goretzka has lost more and more of his influence since Vincent Kompany has been on the sidelines at FC Bayern. While he still makes regular appearances in the Bundesliga, the defensive midfielder has not been allowed to start a single match in the Champions League. It is therefore logical that his advisors are apparently looking for a new club – especially as his contract, which expires in the summer, is not due to be extended anyway
There is interest from numerous top clubs in Europe. While a return to ex-Bayern coach and now Barcelona coach Hansi Flick is also on the cards, Tottenham Hotspur in particular are interested in signing Goretzka. As CaughtOffside reports, Goretzka’s representatives have already held talks with Spurs, and Manchester United have also been mentioned
Now, however, a new club has come onto the scene. According to CaughtOffside , talks have also been held with Premier League leaders FC Arsenal. Gunners coach Mikel Arteta is said to be basically satisfied with his squad, but opportunistic transfers are by no means off the table. After all, the Londoners would like to bring home their first league title since 2003
Goretzka prefers transfer in summer 2026
As Mundo Deportivo reports, interested parties from the Premier League are likely to find it difficult to push through a signing for Goretzka. The player himself would like to train under Hansi Flick again. According to the Spanish newspaper, he is even said to have already written a message to his former coach informing him of his interest in working with him again
However, FC Barcelona are not the only Spanish club keeping an eye on Leon Goretzka. Atlético Madrid are also interested in the 67-time German international. There is also interest from Juventus Turin and SSC Napoli in Italy
There are therefore plenty of potential buyers for Goretzka, but it remains to be seen whether one of them can convince the Bayern bosses to offload the midfielder, who is still in the squad, in the winter.
