According to Football Transfers, Manchester United are keen on Leon Goretzka ahead of the summer. The Red Devils are open to adding an experienced midfielder to their ranks as a partner to Kobie Mainoo, with Bayern Munich ready to consider offers for the German international.
Manchester United are interested in Leon Goretzka?
Manchester United may have some notable additions to make in the summer, with some major reports stating they are only about to sign players under a certain age. That specification was set to be for stars under 25, meaning many believed they would not go for some experienced stars who could be made available.
However, the report states that this is not the case at all and insists that the club look at market opportunities such as those with Leon Goretzka. With Erik ten Hag set to stay at the club, the idea of bringing in a midfield partner for Kobie Mainoo is top of his list ahead of the summer window.
With Casemiro likely to leave, as per many reports, as Saudi Arabia looks like his destination in the summer, Manchester United will lose massive experience in the middle. They are linked with Joao Gomes, but fielding the Portuguese youngster alongside Mainoo will pose a significant risk in the context of the season.
The interest in Goretzka could be genuine in the context of adding an experienced player in the middle of the park. Bayern Munich might be open to cashing in on the German midfielder for around €40 million, which is a decent fee considering he has 2 years left on his current deal.
Bayern Munich open to selling Goretzka and others
Bayern Munich are open to offers coming in for Goretzka, who also has the interest of Barcelona among other teams. With Manchester United now reportedly in the race, the Bavarians might consider offers as new manager Vincent Kompany lays his authority on how he wants the team to play.
In fact, Bayern would reportedly be open to considering offers for other stars like Matthijs De Ligt, Joshua Kimmich, Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry and Noussair Mazraoui in the summer. Should that be the case, it’s clear the Bundesliga giants are preparing for a big summer window ahead, with plenty of arrivals likely to come in as per Kompany’s specifications.
