AC Milan will reportedly compete with Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona in the race to sign 30-year-old Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka in a Bosman move this year.
According to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, Leon Goretzka is the subject of interest of AC Milan. The Serie A giants are scouring the market for a versatile midfielder and have set their sights on the Bayern Munich star. However, they will face stiff competition from Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur for the German international’s signature, although Igli Tare has launched the move.
How has Leon Goretzka fared at Bayern Munich so far?
Leon Goretzka has endured a topsy-turvy ride since joining Bayern Munich from FC Schalke 04 in July 2018. The experienced midfielder was among the world’s most promising young midfielders when he arrived at the Allianz Arena seven and a half years ago. However, the 30-year-old has been in and out of the starting lineup in recent seasons.
Goretzka has made nearly 300 appearances for Bayern Munich thus far while chipping in with 47 goals and 48 assists. However, the German midfielder’s long-term future is uncertain, as they have entered the final six months of his contract. The player’s stock remains high, with AC Milan, Barcelona, and Tottenham Hotspur among the prospective suitors vying for his signature.
A man in demand
AC Milan will dip into the market for a versatile midfielder in the summer transfer window, as Massimiliano Allegri wants more options in the middle of the park. Ruben Loftus-Cheek faces an uncertain future at San Siro, and he will likely leave this year. So, Goretzka has emerged as a viable target for AC Milan.
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Leon Goretzka makes sense.
