Leon Goretzka will leave FC Bayern on a free transfer in the summer. That has been clear for some time, but not where he will be heading. A number of prominent names have him on their radar and one of them apparently has the best chance of completing the deal soon
Atletico and Arsenal were already interested in the winter and wanted to try and capitalize on Goretzka’s situation, who wasn’t playing too much, but the Bayern professional made a conscious decision to stay because he wanted to win another title with the record champions
In recent weeks, there have been one or two charm offensives towards Goretzka, with several clubs involved. There have been repeated inquiries and direct negotiations, particularly from Italy
Milan ahead of Goretzka deal
Serie A is a destination that should certainly appeal to Goretzka. Napoli, Milan, Inter and Juventus have all recently made contact with the player’s side. Interestingly, none of these clubs can pay the international a salary that comes close to what he earns in Munich. However, all are offering him bonus payments that are dependent on his performance. It was reported a few weeks ago that Milan were the only Serie A club to offer a three-year contract
And the Rossoneri have made it clear once again in talks in recent weeks that they are very interested and would like to sign the player. According to Italian transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio, a deal is now also imminent. According to the report, the Rossoneri have recently received positive signals from the player. Milan are also said to be making great progress, which is definitely very positive, as the overall package was already attractive to the midfielder beforehand
A final agreement is still pending, but the traditional club is definitely in the best position by far. Goretzka also enjoys the appreciation of Massimiliano Allegri, the Milan coach, who also sees him as a central point in midfield and wants to rely on him in the coming years.
