Leon Goretzka has postponed his decision on his future. The FC Bayern midfielder apparently wants to examine all options first
While FC Bayern continue to fight for titles, the question of Leon Goretzka’s sporting future is increasingly coming into focus. The midfielder will leave the German record champions in the summer – but it remains to be seen where he will go
As theCalcio Mercato portal reports, Goretzka has deliberately postponed a decision for the time being, stating that the 31-year-old first wants to collect and examine all offers before deciding on a new club
Currently, only AC Milan are said to have made a concrete offer. Details of the contract term and salary have been circulating for weeks, but the German international has not yet made a decision
The reason: Goretzka apparently has a variety of options. In addition to Milan, Juventus, Inter Milan, Napoli and several Premier League clubs are also rumoured to be interested. Atlético Madrid are also said to be monitoring the situation closely
Champions League as a decisive factor for Goretzka?
The situation at AC Milan is particularly exciting: the Italians are currently considered the favorites in the race for Goretzka, but could still fall behind decisively
The reason for this is the sporting situation in Serie A. Milan are still fighting to qualify for the Champions League. If the club misses out on the top flight, a transfer could come to nothing – especially if Goretzka receives parallel offers from teams that are sure to be represented internationally
The Bayern star will probably have a free choice in the summer, with his final decision likely to depend largely on what sporting prospects the interested clubs can offer him.
