Leon Goretzka, Bayern Munich’s 31‑year‑old midfielder, will not have his contract renewed this summer, prompting a scramble among top clubs. Reports say he is leaning toward a move to Arsenal, with interest also from Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid and AC Milan.
Leverkusen have reportedly approached Goretzka’s advisers, but his salary of over €10 million a year poses a financial hurdle. The German side still sees him as a strategic midfield anchor to bolster their title push.
