"The last few days of the winter transfer window at Bayern Munich have been dominated by the speculation around the future of Leon Goretzka. The German midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Atletico Madrid. The Spanish club reportedly made a bid to sign Goretzka before the deadline day. However, Bayern and Goretzka have decided to continue until the end of the season."
"Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund confirmed on Friday that Goretzka will leave the club on a free transfer in the summer. The German midfielder made an emotional post on Instagram to confirm his departure. He is focused on completing the season strongly with Bayern, ruling out a transfer before the deadline day. Atletico Madrid will most likely return for Goretzka in the summer."
"Goretzka joined Bayern in 2018 from Schalke on a free transfer. He hit the ground running for Die Roten and formed a strong midfield partnership with Joshua Kimmich. The former Schalke midfielder won every possible trophy at Bayern, including the historic treble in 2020. The last couple of seasons have seen Goretzka's game time reduced at Bayern due to the emergence of Aleksandar Pavlovic."
Leon Goretzka attracted strong winter transfer interest, notably from Atletico Madrid, which reportedly made a bid before the deadline. Bayern and Goretzka agreed he will stay to complete the season and then leave on a free transfer in the summer, a move confirmed by sporting director Christoph Freund. Goretzka posted emotionally on Instagram and committed to finishing the season strongly, ruling out an immediate move. Multiple European clubs are expected to show interest in the summer. Goretzka joined Bayern from Schalke in 2018, won every major trophy including the 2020 treble, and has seen reduced minutes recently due to Aleksandar Pavlovic. Bayern plan to sign and promote a young midfielder, with Tom Bischof set for increased central midfield minutes next season.
