Goretzka Free Agent Move: Milan, Inter & Arsenal in Transfer Battle
AC Milan and Inter Milan are reportedly poised to compete fiercely with Arsenal this summer for the services of Leon Goretzka, who is set to become a free agent upon his departure from Bayern Munich, according to German media outlets.
Goretzka, who recently celebrated his 31st birthday, has confirmed he will not be extending his contract with Bayern Munich. Consequently, the seasoned midfielder will be available for transfer without a fee starting June 30.
Arsenal has long been associated with a move for the German international and is considered a strong contender, though they are now facing significant competition from leading clubs in Italy's Serie A.
Goretzka Attracted by Italian Challenge
German journalist Christian Falk reports that AC Milan is making a strong push to sign Goretzka. The club views his potential free-agent arrival as a strategic acquisition, drawing parallels to how players like Luka Modric, after extended periods at elite clubs, opted for new environments as free agents.
Inter Milan also stands as a formidable contender for the German international. In contrast, Juventus appears to be trailing in the race, largely due to their current difficulties in securing qualification for the Champions League.
This anticipated move would signify the end of a significant chapter for Goretzka, who has been an integral part of Bayern Munich's squad since 2018.
