Bayern Munich Confirms Sale of German Midfielder
Bayern Munich has reiterated its decision to sell their German midfielder, clarifying that the club's stance remains unchanged despite interest from several European teams.
Bayern Munich has officially reaffirmed its position regarding the future of German midfielder Leon Goretzka. Amid ongoing speculation, the club has made it clear that Goretzka is available for transfer, and their stance has not wavered, despite inquiries from top European teams.
Reports suggest that Bayern's management, under the leadership of sporting director Hasan Salihamidžić, has been open to selling Goretzka following a season that failed to meet expectations. The midfielder’s performances have faced scrutiny, and Bayern is keen on restructuring its midfield for the upcoming season.
Clubs from the Premier League and Serie A have reportedly expressed interest in acquiring the services of the German international. Among the rumored suitors are Manchester United and Juventus, both of whom are looking to bolster their midfield options during the winter transfer window.
However, Bayern has set a clear asking price for Goretzka, which has reportedly slowed down negotiations. The club is determined to secure a significant fee, reflecting the player's experience and pedigree on the international stage. With over 150 appearances for Bayern since joining from Schalke, Goretzka has been an integral part of their domestic and European campaigns, winning multiple Bundesliga titles and the Champions League in 2020.
Despite his achievements, Goretzka has struggled to maintain consistent form under Bayern's new head coach Thomas Tuchel. The midfielder's potential departure signals Bayern’s commitment to refreshing their squad and ensuring competitiveness at the highest level.
As the January transfer window approaches, all eyes are on the Bavarian giants to see how the situation unfolds. For Goretzka, the decision to leave Bayern could mark a new chapter in his career, with opportunities to reignite his form at another top club.
