Leon Goretzka was one of the problem children at FC Bayern last season. A sale of the national player is apparently not excluded.
As Philipp Kessler from “tz” and “Münchner Merkur” reports on Twitter, Goretzka can “leave FC Bayern if there is a suitable offer”.
The 28-year-old was in a low form in the last second half of the season. The competition in central midfield will not decrease from now on. With Konrad Laimer (previously at RB Leipzig), FC Bayern has added personnel to this position. Raphaël Guerreiro (previously with Borussia Dortmund) also played sporadically on the eight at BVB.
But Goretzka wants to assert himself with the German record champions. “I have no plans other than to stay at Bayern! We have big plans for next year, Jo (Kimmich) said that very aptly following the Ukraine game,” the national player told “Sport1” in June. Goretzka still has a contract with FC Bayern until 2026.
How does FC Bayern plan in midfield?
Born in Bochum, he moved from FC Schalke 04 to Säbener Straße on a free transfer in 2018. The two-time World Cup participant quickly found his way around the Isar.
Goretzka played a large part in the treble win in 2020. In central midfield, the veteran alongside Joshua Kimmich was long considered to be set. Under Thomas Tuchel, Goretzka has had a more difficult situation in recent months.
Ultimately, a lot will depend on how the head coach plans for the coming season. According to media reports, FC Bayern is still looking for a six. According to “Bild” information, Edson Álvarez from Ajax Amsterdam is back on the list of squad planners.
Declan Rice, who was hotly traded just a few weeks ago, is most likely moving from West Ham United to Arsenal.
