With his contract at Bayern Munich set to expire in June, Leon Goretzka is attracting significant interest from major European clubs, including Barcelona. However, a Premier League giant is making headway in negotiations.
With six months remaining on his Bayern Munich contract, Leon Goretzka is creating serious waves in the transfer market. While the midfielder has the option to extend his Bavarian adventure, he is seriously considering joining another club to discover a new experience. Barcelona would like to sign him on a free transfer in June. The prospect of reuniting the duo between Leon Goretzka and Hansi Flick delights the Catalan supporters.
But the 30-year-old remains a reference point in his position in Germany, where he has won everything since arriving at Bayern Munich. Naturally, such a market opportunity does not go unnoticed. Numerous major clubs across the continent will now be negotiating with Leon Goretzka's representatives. According to information from Caught Offside, Tottenham have a head start in this saga and could well beat the Blaugrana in the coming days.
Tottenham's plan to beat Barcelona
Spurs have a very specific strategy to secure the services of the German international (67 caps, 15 goals): pay financial compensation to Bayern Munich. The English club wants to recruit Leon Goretzka during the January transfer window, to avoid a battle with other clubs when the player becomes a free agent in June. For their part, Bayern Munich would prefer to sell the midfielder in January and recoup a transfer fee.
Leon Goretzka is valued at €15 million on Transfermarkt. Tottenham, sitting 12th in the Premier League, have been struggling since the start of the season and lack consistency. A player with Leon Goretzka's experience would do Spurs' midfield a world of good. A potentially tough blow for Barcelona, while Manchester United, Arsenal, Juventus and Napoli have also been mentioned in the discussions.
