Leon Goretzka 'interested in Liverpool' if he leaves Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich midfielder Leon Goretzka was not included in the squad for the DFB Cup game against Ulm at the weekend. There are fears that his exclusion from Vincent Kompany's plans could be a chain of events for most of the season, although the player is determined to turn his situation around.
Florian Plettenberg has stated that although his priority is to stay at the Allianz Arena, Goreztka would be “interested in Liverpool' next to Barcelona and real Madrid as well as 'one to three more teams' if he were to leave Bayern, while MLS is not seen as an attractive destination for now.
The 29-year-old did not enjoy his best season in 2023/24 and, having missed out on a place in Julian Nagelsmann's Germany squad at Euro 2024, his Bayern Munich career may also be coming to an end.
Liverpool are in need of a midfielder after letting go of a number of names in recent years and Goretzka would be a great signing, especially after losing Martin Zubimendi.
Goretzka could be worth exploring for Liverpool
If Leon Goretzka is interested in joining Liverpool, he could be willing to accept a compromise on his wages, while Bayern could also let him go for a nominal fee if Kompany has no intention of using him. Goretzka is valued at around £25m per Transfer market and it would be a fantastic signing if Liverpool could sign him for anywhere near that price.
His transfer It would be an option worth exploring for the Reds. Goretzka has been one of the best midfielders in the world in recent years and while he admittedly had a poor season in 2023/24, the player has the experience to overcome adversity, especially if he finds himself in a completely new environment.
At 29, Goreztka can still continue playing at the highest level for a few more years. A challenge in the Premier League It could also be an option worth pursuing for the German international, while from Liverpool's perspective, they could add a regular player in a position that needs a rebuild.
Goretzka is an excellent midfielder who plays in all directions and his physical ability allows him to be a solid presence in defence. With his work rate, attacking players can thrive, which would allow Arne Slot to get the best out of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szoboszlai by freeing them from their defensive shackles.
It will be interesting to see what Liverpool's stance is if the player's entourage approaches them in the near future, but there is no doubt he would be a brilliant acquisition for the Merseysiders.
