Salary is one of the main reasons contract negotiations fail every now and then. There were also some departures at FC Bayern. Leon Goretzka extended in Munich – there were rumors anyway.
Leon Goretzka from FC Bayern Munich says that money is not the overriding criterion in contract poker with a club. “There are certainly more important things than money. When people say that contract negotiations are only about squeezing out the last euro, they often have the wrong image,” says the 26-year-old midfielder in the club’s magazine “51”. Goretzka had extended his lavish contract this season by four years until June 30, 2026.
“Money is not the primary reason for an extension,” he assures in an interview, at least for himself: “For example, I value identification with the club and the team. We celebrated these successes of the last two years because Something has come about here: To play for titles at this level, and that with your friends and not just with football colleagues – you can’t pay for that with any money in the world. “
Goretzka was transferred to the record champions in 2018 from FC Schalke 04 on a free transfer. He has developed into a top performer in Munich, as well as in the national team.
