‘The Athletic’ dismiss Goretzka to Tottenham Hotspur rumors
The Athletic played down links of Leon Goretzka to a Premier League move.
The winter transfer market window opened today with clubs having the chance to strengthen their squads until February 2nd. Similarly, it also opened the door for some departures as is the case with Leon Goretzka and Bayern Munich.
The German international started 12 out of 15 Bundesliga games, but there are no signs of contract renewal at the club. Accordingly, the Rekordmeisters have one last chance to cash in on him this January.
After Mundo Deportivo linked the 30-year-old with Hansi Flick’s Barcelona, Tottenham Hotspur were reported to lead the race by the English media. However, according to The Athletic, it was a false alarm.
The subscription-based platform reported Spurs have no interest in signing Gortezka at this moment. Thomas Frank’s side signed João Palhinha from Bayern on an initial loan deal in the summer transfer window.
