Leon Goretzka’s future at FC Bayern is currently a hotly debated topic. The German national player is tied to the German football record champions until the end of June 2026 and is also a regular member of the permanent staff. A princely salary and not always consistent performance are said to have given the bosses on Säbener Strasse pause, and a farewell does not seem to be out of the question. Juventus Turin is apparently getting into position.
Will Juventus grab Leon Goretzka from FC Bayern? At least the Bianconeri are currently said to be very interested in the 29-year-old midfielder. According to “calciomercato.com”, the Turin-based company has now taken concrete steps to convince Goretzka to change.
According to the Italian portal, the financially strong teams from the Premier League are luring Goretzka, but Juventus has also set its “machinery in motion,” they say. Accordingly, the Serie A giant has contacted both FC Bayern and Goretzka and expressed their interest in a commitment.
Is saying goodbye to FC Bayern even an option?
It is unclear, however, whether Goretzka himself can even imagine an early departure from the Bavarian capital.
After rumors circulated several times in the past winter transfer window that Goretzka was considering a commitment to England, the Bochum native told the TV station “Sky”: “I don’t know where that comes from.” At the same time, he didn’t want to waste too much thought on the reporting because, as he explained: “Rumors are part of football.”
“I know what I have to do and continue on the path I took in the summer,” continued Goretzka, who consciously decided to stay in Munich in the summer of 2023, although he had to keep his regular place in midfield during preparation had lost in the meantime.
