Overview
- Intermediaries for Leon Goretzka have directly offered his services to Barcelona, a move first reported by transfer journalists and linked to his past work with coach Hansi Flick.
- Barcelona has officially said it is not in talks with Goretzka and sporting director Deco has stated the club considers its midfield covered despite Frenkie de Jong’s knee injury.
- Juventus has been reported to have made a concrete financial proposal worth about €7 million net per year plus a €10 million signing bonus, but Goretzka has not accepted any offer.
- AC Milan has been named in reports as an alternative destination and Goretzka has been keeping fit with a private trainer while weighing options as a free agent.
- Goretzka became available after Bayern Munich chose not to renew his contract and his use of the Flick connection could force clubs to revisit midfield plans or push negotiations toward Italy if Barcelona stays firm.
