Leon Goretzka’s contract with Bayern Munich expires this summer and will not be renewed, leaving the 31‑year‑old midfielder free to seek a new club. Reports say he is leaning toward a move to England, with Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen all watching his next step.
Leverkusen have reportedly approached Goretzka’s advisers, but his salary of over €10 million a year poses a financial hurdle. Arsenal’s need for a physically strong, experienced midfielder could make the German star an attractive short‑term addition to the North London side.
