So far, Leon Goretzka has categorically ruled out a premature farewell to FC Bayern in the summer. The 28-year-old wants to fight for his place in Munich. Under certain circumstances, the DFB star could change his mind in the coming weeks.

Bayern have played four friendlies in the pre-season so far, and Leon Goretzka had to settle for a bench seat four times. Tuchel’s message is very clear: Goretzka no longer plays a major role in the 49-year-old’s plans. Tuchel wants to start the new season with the midfield duo Joshua Kimmich and Konrad Laimer.

Goretzka is spoiled for choice: stay in Munich and fight for his place or leave the club early. The ex-Schalke player recently publicly emphasized that he “loves the club” and that saying goodbye is not an issue for him.

According to consistent media reports, neither Tuchel nor Bayern Goretzka have suggested a change so far. According to reports, the Munich head coach will hold one-on-one talks with all players after the Asian tour with a view to their role and perspectives in the new season.

Are Manchester serious about Leon Goretzka?

As “Sky” reporter Florian Plettenberg reports, Manchester United could soon be an interesting prospect for Goretzka. According to the transfer insider, the midfielder has been on the Red Devils list for a long time. Particularly interesting: As Plettenberg reports, the English record champions want to intensify their efforts to attract the German international.

While Goretzka has no intention of changing to date, Bayern would be willing to talk from a fee of 40-45 million euros, as “Sky” recently revealed. Tuchel makes no secret of the fact that he would like to reinvest the money in a “real six”.
