"Goretzka has been an important player for Bayern since arriving from Schalke on a free transfer in 2018. He has won all possible trophies at Die Roten, including the historic treble in 2020. The German international played a key role in each of the trophies won at the club over the last seven years. Despite his contributions over the last seven years, Bayern believed it was time to part ways in 2024."
"As things stand, Bayern are not keen on offering a new deal to Leon Goretzka. The experienced German midfielder is keen on staying in Munich, but he may have to start considering options during the second half of the season. Bayern are already looking beyond Leon Goretzka in their midfield plans. Aleksandar Pavlovic is ahead of him in the pecking order, while Tom Bischof has also made a good impression whenever he has played in the center of the park."
Atletico Madrid have enquired about Leon Goretzka, who will be free to negotiate with clubs in January for a summer free transfer. Goretzka joined Bayern from Schalke in 2018 and has won every domestic and continental trophy including the 2020 treble, contributing across seven seasons. Bayern initially considered parting ways in 2024 and left him out of early matchday squads, but Goretzka stayed, regained sufficient minutes under Vincent Kompany, and helped win the Bundesliga. Bayern are not keen to offer a new contract and may not sanction a winter sale, while younger midfielders like Aleksandar Pavlovic and Tom Bischof are preferred.
