Tottenham reportedly leads the race for Bayern Munich star Leon Goretzka, with the north Londoners closely monitoring the midfielder’s situation.
According to Caught Offside, Leon Goretzka has many suitors from the Premier League and Europe, with Tottenham are leading the race, as per the story. The north Londoners have been linked with the 30-year-old Bayern Munich star for some time now, as the Germans could potentially open the door for an exit.
Leon Goretzka could be on the minds of some of the big teams looking for a quality midfielder on the cheap. While the German international has a massive reputation in the market for being one of the sought-after players in his position, recently, his value has dipped a little.
Despite the notion that Goretzka is no longer a key part of the Bayern Munich midfield, he has started the majority of the games in the Bundesliga. While Vincent Kompany continues to value the midfielder’s presence and role, the club might think about a sale if a decent offer arrives.
While keeping him on board for the remainder of the season will keep the quality of the midfield intact, the club may have to make a hard decision given the 30-year-old Bayern Munich star’s contract ends in the summer. The report names the likes of Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester United have all been mentioned as suitors.
Arsenal are not widely reported to be interested, but Manchester United might test the waters if they are serious about recruiting a midfielder. Tottenham had been interested for a while, and their name has been mentioned in connection with Goretzka more than once recently.
Are Tottenham the frontrunners for Leon Goretzka?
Tottenham had been sounded out over a move for Goretzka, and it appears the club might be ready to make a quick move if things fall under their working structure. Despite reports claiming Spurs were not working on a deal, talks may have been held with the 30-year-old Bayern Munich star’s agent.
According to the report, Tottenham is reportedly leading the race for the midfielder as things stand and could consider making an offer if the situation is favourable. Much will depend on whether Bayern Munich are realistically thinking about a sale, as well as the player’s preference, especially should another big club arrive on the scene.
