Goretzka to Manchester United
However, the player has no intention of leaving Bayern Munich mid-season, so United will have to do everything they can to convince him to join the club if they eventually make a concrete move. The journalist claims that in addition to signing a new midfielder, Manchester United are also looking to sign a new affordable center forward.

“Manchester United plans to make moves in the winter transfer market. He understands that the Red Devils are looking for an affordable forward. Manchester United are also looking for a number eight, a central midfielder. Leon Goretzka's situation continues to be closely monitored. However, at the moment, the 29-year-old still has no plans to leave Bayern in the winter.”
Goretzka was heavily linked with a move away from the Bavarian club in the summer window, but the transfer ultimately failed to materialise. Now, so far this season, he has found himself on the periphery of the Allianz Arena.
The 29-year-old is valued at around £18million per Transfer market and has entered the final two years of his current contract. Bayern Munich would therefore look to cash in on him next year to avoid losing him for free in 2026.
Goretzka is an experienced player and could be a solid and affordable addition for United if they ultimately opt to secure his service.
