Leon Goretzka has had a mix in prominence for Bayern Munich since first joining in 2018. Tottenham are now looking at the possibility of bringing him to England in the summer.
The German’s contract in Bavaria runs out in 2026. Considering his stature as a footballer, Goretzka will expect to attract multiple suitors ahead of the summer.
Calciomercato’s Daniele Longo reports about on 30-year-old, who has played 18 Bundesliga games this season.
The report claims that Tottenham have moved first for the midfielder. Spurs see Goretzka as one way to revamp their midfield next season, and add experience to the squad.
A transfer is unlikely to be easy for the London club, as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are also interested. It doesn’t end there, as Longo prominently writes about AC Milan’s initial approach.
The Italian giants have made contact with Goretzka’s entourage, having done the same some weeks ago. Rossoneri sporting director Igli Tare is a big admirer of the Germany international. He is looking to replicate the Luka Modric move from last summer and sign Goretzka for free.
Understandable interest in midfielder, and Tottenham competition
Manchester United were linked in 2021, and West Ham in 2023, however, there’s not been much Premier League action for Leon Goretzka.
The midfielder would be interested in a move to the San Siro and this was communicated during recent contact. For Max Allegri’s side, this is the first attempt to possibly bring him to Italy in the summer.
Competition for Tottenham and Milan is likely to be ‘ruthless’ as Barcelona and Atletico have enquired as well.
This is perhaps an attempt from Goretzka’s entourage to possibly sound out multiple clubs. It will help the player find the best possible destination when he finally departs Bayern in the summer.
