AC Milan will reportedly compete with Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona in the race to sign 30-year-old Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka in a Bosman move this year. According to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, Leon Goretzka is the subject of interest of AC Milan. The Serie A giants are scouring the market for a versatile midfielder and have set their sights on the Bayern Munich star. However, they will face stiff competition from Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur for the German international’s signature, although Igli Tare has launched the move.
Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Leon Goretzka makes sense. The Lilywhites are keen on reinforcing their midfield unit this year, as it is unclear if Joao Palhinha will complete a permanent move to the North London club. Additionally, Yves Bissouma has no future at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. So, Goretzka is an option worth considering.
As for Barcelona, Goretzka has been on the Catalan club’s wishlist for a long time. The continued interest is surprising, as Hansi Flick has a stacked midfield unit. While Marc Casado and Marc Bernal face an uncertain future at Camp Nou, it is unclear if Goretzka can become a first-choice starter for Barcelona.
Apart from AC Milan, Barcelona, and Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Madrid will also attempt to seal a Bosman deal for the 30-year-old German international. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the Bayern Munich midfielder.
