In the last back series, Leon Goretzka was no longer undisputed in Bayern’s midfield. A circumstance that a Premier League giant apparently wants to take advantage of.
Together with Joshua Kimmich, Leon Goretzka has been the control center of FC Bayern in recent years. Under Niko Kovac, Hansi Flick and Julian Nagelsmann, the driver was always set, only Thomas Tuchel put him on the bench.
According to “Sport1” reporter Kerry Hau, Munich’s new trainer is “not the biggest fan” of Goretzka, who is suddenly even being traded as a candidate for change.
On Monday evening, transfer expert Florian Plettenberg revealed on “Sky” that Manchester United is already a potential buyer.
The Red Devils are watching the situation closely at the moment and are aware that Bayern’s interest in West Ham’s Declan Rice six could have a direct impact on Goretzka.
Concrete talks between the player and the club are said not to have taken place so far. Goretzka’s current working paper with the German record champions is valid until 2026, so it would certainly not be a bargain.
Leon Goretzka identifies “100 percent” with FC Bayern
Goretzka himself should try to remain calm. According to reports, he is not actually drawn away from Munich. He wants to “remain definite” and continues to identify himself “100 percent” with FC Bayern.
In addition, Goretzka is said to have had a powerful advocate in Karl-Heinz Rummenigge. The longtime CEO has just returned to the supervisory board.
It remains to be clarified whether Tuchel and Goretzka can come to terms with each other in the future. The Nagelsmann successor should prefer a defensive-minded player with clearing qualities in the headquarters.
