Leon Goretzka will leave FC Bayern on a free transfer, but the German international’s destination is still not clear. Now there seems to be an interesting twist in the poker!
In recent weeks, the midfielder has repeatedly emphasized that he has received offers, but that no decision has yet been made. Teams from Italy in particular have been intensively courting Goretzka. Milan had made contact and coach Massimiliano Allegri had already spoken to him
And the Rossoneri offered him a lucrative three-year contract, which Goretzka would have accepted. The problem: Allegri was sacked, as was a large part of the sporting management
Goretzka poker picks up speed again
According to a report in the Italian Gazzetta dello Sport , the race for the experienced Goretzka is now open again. In addition to the chaos at the club, Milan have also lost out on the Champions League, meaning the traditional Italian club will have to pay a little closer attention to their finances when it comes to transfers
According to the report, Juventus therefore appear to be stepping up their game again. The Goretzka side are talking to various interested parties, not just from Italy. Arsenal are also said to still be interested and there have been recent contacts here too
In principle, Goretzka remains open to a move to Italy and gaining experience there should appeal to him. Juventus coach Luciano Spalletti is also clearly of the opinion that they need more experienced leading players in order to celebrate sporting success in the coming years
The only question will be whether the Bianconeri, who like Milan missed out on the top flight, are in a position to make a financially lucrative offer. Goretzka, meanwhile, is in no rush and has no fixed timetable by which deadline a decision should be made.
