The hottest transfer speculation this summer? Barca making moves for Goretzka!

Leon Goretzka’s tenure at FC Bayern last summer wasn’t without its controversies. The club seems open to considering offers for him at a reasonable price. Word has it that an initial offer is already in the works from Barcelona.

Reports suggest that FC Barcelona is gearing up to make a bid for Leon Goretzka from FC Bayern. According to the Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Catalans are ready to put forward a sum exceeding €30 million for the Bayern standout. This proposed price tag would likely be well received in Munich, given that Goretzka’s contract runs only until the summer of 2026.

Even FC Bayern themselves seem open to the idea of parting ways with the 29-year-old midfielder. Recent rumors indicate that while Goretzka isn’t on the chopping block, the club would entertain negotiations if the right offer came along.

Juventus Turin and West Ham also vying for Leon Goretzka’s signature
Beyond FC Barcelona’s interest, Goretzka appears to have other intriguing options on the table. The most significant lead points to Italy. According to insights from kicker, Juventus holds a strong interest in the former Schalke player. Representatives from the “Old Lady” were present at Bayern’s Champions League second leg against Lazio Roma (3:0) at the Allianz Arena to personally scout Goretzka. However, whether they’ve made a concrete inquiry remains unclear.

Another, albeit less sizzling, lead extends to London. West Ham United is still in search of a defensive midfielder. Goretzka found himself on the Hammers’ radar last summer after Declan Rice departed for neighboring Arsenal FC.

Despite the flurry of interest from various parties, Goretzka himself seems to envision his future at the Isar. As per reports from the kicker, Leon Goretzka expresses a desire to remain at Bayern beyond the summer. However, the club’s decision-makers are carefully assessing the market for him and Joshua Kimmich.
