Goretzka Eyes Arsenal Move as Bayern Contract Ends

Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka, whose contract will not be renewed this summer, is reportedly looking to join Arsenal, with interest also from Leverkusen, Atletico and Milan.

Leon Goretzka’s contract with Bayern Munich expires this summer and the club will not extend it, according to Bild. The 31‑year‑old midfielder has attracted attention from several top clubs, including Arsenal, Atletico Madrid, AC Milan and Bayer Leverkusen, who are reportedly exploring a move.

Goretzka brings experience, physicality and a strong European pedigree. At 31 he would be a short‑term boost for Arsenal’s midfield, while Leverkusen’s interest is driven by a need for a central orchestrator after a dip in form. The midfielder’s salary of over €10 million a year could pose a financial hurdle for some clubs.
